		<title>The &#8216;Net is Where it&#8217;s At</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Explain to me how hotels can stay in business when they don&#8217;t answer rate requests via email.  I don&#8217;t mean they don&#8217;t list an email address.  No, they have email addresses or forms.  But they do not answer when a rate request is sent.  In some cases, the web page warns [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can&#8217;t Take the Heat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just about died gardening this morning.  Unbelievably hot even at eight in the morning.  Sure, I could go earlier.  Doesn&#8217;t help.  The humidity is so thick it stands next to you. Too bad it doesn&#8217;t laugh.  At least then there might be a breeze.
And this morning had to be the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Peeping Junior</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is he spying on us???  Trying to break in???


No, it turns out that Junior is climbing the screen because he spotted a lizard!!!
No, he doesn&#8217;t need the lizard.  He has plenty of food.  We even open the door when he wants to come in.  But that doesn&#8217;t stop our intrepid hunter. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not Eclairs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been craving chocolate eclairs for many days now.  I stopped at the local grocery where the display yielded eclairs with some sort of whipped cream inside &#8212; for a buck a piece.  Folks.  Not even close.  I can squirt whipping cream with the best of them.  I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know why this is cool to me, but it is.  I think it has something to do with thinking about all the work that went into making the champagne&#8211;200 years ago.  The grapes, the aging, the bottling.  Then it was shipped&#8230;and sank.  All the hands that touched it, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>No More Gushing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The oil gushing into the gulf was stopped today for the first time in months.  I hope it stays capped and sealed.  I hope it never happens again.  I&#8217;m not satisfied with my government&#8217;s slow and lazy response&#8211;I hope that the clean-up effort takes on a high priority and gets the attention [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quitting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, I quit corporate America.  I wanted to write. Or, do just about anything else.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong.  The money was nice.  There were good people, there were bad.  But most of all there was craziness and an emptiness that ate at my soul.
I was lucky. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sale!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amazon has put my book, Sage: Tales from a Magical Kingdom, on sale for 79 cents.  Yes, 79 cents!  If you are one of the four or five people who have not already purchased it&#8230;well, there probably won&#8217;t be a better time.  When the sale is over (and I have no idea [...]]]></description>
