		<title>Buon Viaggio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I won&#8217;t dwell on past absence, but only stop by my virtual placeholder a moment to announce my departure to Italy for a replenishing vacation. Will be staying near the Borghese Gardens in Roma for a few days then off to enjoy some monumental quiet, medieval style in nearby Toffia.

I don&#8217;t need a crystal ball [...]]]></description>

		<title>Requiem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently Bentley, Butterfly’s beloved 19 year old Mazda pickup, had to go in for a check-up due to some cranky noises, boisterous smoke and iffy handling. We kept our fingers crossed for a good prognosis.
Turns out, the news wasn’t very good. The recommended procedure was very costly and in the long term wasn’t guaranteed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big Sky Country</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Heading out to Montana for 10 days. Looking forward to some hiking, 4-wheelin, cook-outs and laying in the cool (fire ant-less) grass.
Adios, triple-digit Dallas!

		<title>Thoughts on Open and Honest Communication</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Open and honest” communications are rare. People typically engage in socially acceptable conversations; problem-solving brainstorms; polite and appropriate exchanges of niceties; superficial divulgences of “confidence”; comfortable discussions of daily activities/events; confluences of mutual support/agony; comedic interpretations; nostalgic remembrances of prior days (judiciously edited for the conversation at hand); malicious gossip; entertaining breaks of humor; or [...]]]></description>

		<title>The last thing I need is you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m having so much fun listening to this song by Hooverphonic today.
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;
Oh hell, what a glorious day it&#8217;s been,
Oh lord, look at the mess I&#8217;m in.
My car broke down,
So I waited for a shuttle bus,
It never came, instead, I&#8217;ve got the rain&#8230;
I broke a heel, I chipped a nail, I lost the dog, How could [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Mating Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve been seeing these bumperstickers around town

It makes me want to start selling these, so that people can easily afix them to the existing stickers and &#8220;amend&#8221; the statement as they see fit.

		<title>Let The Music Play On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, perhaps our task in this shaky, fast changing, bewildering world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.
 - Rabbi Jack Reimer writing about Itzhak Perlman in The Extraordinary Healing Power [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life in Texas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had an unannounced house guest last weekend. At first it was a bit of a horrific surprise, but after a bit she became a curious new entity to discover. Apparently some people even keep these &#8220;Stick Bugs&#8221; as pets.  
I&#8217;ll &#8217;stick&#8217; with Tukla.

		<title>Strawberry Fields Forever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend one of Butterfly&#8217;s students gave her a dozen large strawberries fresh from California, so I knocked out the following twist on your basic strawberries and cream.
I simmered a couple cups of red wine with a cinnamon stick, some orange peel, a few pitted  cherries and a dash of agave nectar. After [...]]]></description>
