		<description><![CDATA[Back in the Fall when I was really sad, I wrote a country song. It made me really happy. Hope it helps cheer you up now: &#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Well&#8230; Sometimes you&#8217;re the windshield, sometimes you&#8217;re the bug. You&#8217;ll start out flying high, and then you&#8217;ll find you&#8217;re eating rug. It&#8217;s just the way it goes my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Oh, this has been one of my better Decembers &#8230;and that included chopping off part of my finger.&#8221; was my summation of the holiday season to a friend of mine last night. Kinda sums up what I think about Christmases in general. I boycotted the whole thing this year; vastly improved my quality of life. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I miss that zip-zip sound corduroy pants used to make when I was a kid. Cords seem to have lost something from the ribbed pants of my stripey-shirted, yes-avacado-is-a-colour-and-it-goes-great-with-pumpkin, 70&#8242;s childhood. So, I&#8217;ve been wondering as I walk around, my pants more of a stuttered whisper than that zip-zip I used to love, what&#8217;s changed? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s one hell of a wind out there today. As I watch the trees outside my window I marvel at their flexibility. The spruce branches are waving like undersea fronds and a poplar branch as big as my thigh still has the give to sway broadly as the wind gusts. As I sit cozy and [...]]]></description>
