		<description><![CDATA[“My friend, wait by the wayside. Linger a while by the wayside and see, I’ll come wandering by there in no time. Wait by the wayside for me.” I’m so drawn by the call of these lines in the opening of Scott Cook’s song Wayside. I’ve been lying these hot summer nights, staring at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m a little sister of a big brother &#8211; my first and most engaging playmate. I was at least as interested in GI Joes as Barbies, and found killer football waaaay more fun than playing princess. One of my favourite childhood memories is of my brother and I tossing toy soldier paratroopers off a high [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three things have been central in my brain this week: First, reading James Frey’s A Million Little Pieces. A book about addiction and recovery and so far mostly him ranting about how much he doesn’t like The Twelve Steps. I figure anything that gets you thinking about being in the moment (taking one day at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s all about perception. Case One: Walking down by the river with my nephew, goose poop everywhere. I think, “What a frickin mess!
