		<description><![CDATA[I love &#8220;discovering&#8221; things.  I&#8217;m one of those annoying people who like to be the first to try something, buy something, whatever-it-is before it gets big.  In high school and college it was mostly about music and being on the cutting edge.  I was the first person I knew to get into The Sundays in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blech summer heat.  Here are a few reasons I don&#8217;t care for it.
I work downtown and when it&#8217;s hot and humid smells are amplified, especially the offensive ones.  I took a short walk late this afternoon to find a bag of plain Sun Chips, to no avail, alas, and the air outside was ripe with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So far this week I&#8217;ve stayed late at work every night.   Only by an hour, but time is &#8230; time.  More valuable than money to some/sum.  ha ha
Tonight I very leisurely made my way to the red line at South Station via the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway.  It&#8217;s a public &#8220;green space&#8221; -slash- park that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over Mother&#8217;s Day weekend we held my dad&#8217;s memorial in Nashville.  Having been brought up Quaker, he wanted his ceremony to be organized like a simple Quaker meeting where everyone is in a room together - Vanderbilt&#8217;s Benton Chapel - and if/when someone feels moved to speak, they stand up and speak.  Beautiful.  Simple.

There were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some improper word-use annoyances:
You don&#8217;t wet your appetite, you whet it.
No one can wind their way to work, you wend your way.
The further I see into the future, the farther my stomach sticks out, not the other way &#8217;round.
Flesh out a rough or &#8220;skeletal&#8221; idea, not flush it out.  Flush it and you lose it.

I type faster than I write.  Most people, I imagine, who know how to type, do.  The editing process involved in word processing is convenient and makes things so much simpler than ever before.  And you must know how I [...]]]></description>
