		<title>Now Don&#8217;t Tell Me I&#8217;ve Nothin&#8217; To Do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know why this cracked me up &#8212; maybe because I first watched it at about 3:30AM &#8212; but I can&#8217;t get over either the guy in the red track suit, or Zack Galifiwhatzit coming out as a way-too-long-flute player.  This season of SNL looks like a lot of fun.

		<title>I&#8217;ve Gotta Say I&#8217;m On My Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;March forth!&#8221; my older, wiser, friend hollered, as I pocketed my chip and headed out of the meeting&#8230;
A few days ago I celebrated one year sober.
And, as my buddy noted, March 4th is a great day to have to celebrate, because it&#8217;s not only a goal, it&#8217;s also a command.  A wish.  A plan.  So, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grace in Small Things: Part 80 of 365</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. &#8220;You cannot run away from a weakness, you must sometime fight it out or perish. And if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?&#8221;
&#8211; Robert Louis Stevenson
2. Businesses that donate goods and services for community fundraising events (plug!)
3. There&#8217;s a fella I see every few days that&#8217;s reading a well-loved hardback [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get Up, Stand Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So is there some kind of Metro etiquette I am not aware of?  I know I err on the side of people feeling good about themselves, rather than being comfortable, but what if one&#8217;s comfort comes from feeling good about oneself?
Case in point: I get on the train today, and there&#8217;s a guy with an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grace in Small Things: Part 79 of 365</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. I love this video.  I forget about it and then every once in a while I stumble upon it again.
2. Then, the inevitable parody of something creative and beautiful.  I especially love the enormous line of coke he does at about 1:20. Holy two-day high, Batman!
3. Leg warmers!  I don&#8217;t know who authorized their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Text message from my spouse that reminds me that &#8220;inch by inch, life is a cinch &#8212; yard by yard, life is hard.&#8221;
2. The existence of Whole Foods when I need a vegetarian entree and don&#8217;t feel like making a fancy one. 
3. Seeing the first smile on the face of a person who has [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Off The Floor One More Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh. My. Word.
Raise your weak little sweaty hand if you&#8217;ve had the stomach flu recently! It took our house down like the Ushers and we&#8217;re just up today, yesterday.  I said to Shaun that I hadn&#8217;t barfed like that since the 80s!  Hoooowee!
That said, Ruby caught it on my heels and she wins [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Rumplestiltskin.  Creepy little dude but great name.
2. Method brand granite cleaner &#8212; it&#8217;s the only thing I have found that doesn&#8217;t make a streaky mess and it smells great!
3. Buy-in from my spouse when I want to take a class or need an &#8220;evening off.&#8221;
4. Salma Hayek&#8217;s boobs.  I&#8217;m just glad they&#8217;re around.  Almost [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Kilian Back to Black: Aphrodisiac perfume.  What were they thinking with that name? It&#8217;s a sexy scent though.
2. Five o&#8217;clock shadows at 10AM.  Not on me, silly.
3. The fact that I quit smoking (which is not a small thing for anyone). Watching the show Mad Men is crazy-making with all the smoking.  And the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your Time Has Come Your Second Skin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I heard my critical voice today
like a wind-carried whisper
or a whistle from down a beach
a far-off squeak
a ticklish purr.
But this morning, instead of
reassurance within it
support and strength
and encouragement behind it
for the first time
I heard disease
in its thickest form
all sputters and judgments and growls.
Inside the simplest phrase
lay the covert beginnings
of countless drilling questions
waves of crushing inertia
bottomless [...]]]></description>
