		<title>Dumbing down of America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recent Florida FCAT results show our state’s schoolchildren are getting dumber. This year, only 27 percent of third-graders got a passing grade of 4 out of 6 on this year’s exam, compared to 81 percent last year, reported a Sun-Sentinel columnist. Moreover, only about one in four of Florida’s schoolchildren can write at grade level. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bye Bye Snowbird</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you live in South Florida, I’m sure you’ve noticed, as I have, that road traffic has greatly thinned out. I now find myself sailing through traffic lights that, these days, always seem to be green – a big change from having to stop at every light during season when many more cars clog the [...]]]></description>

		<title>It’s all about money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first thing that enters my mind when some big corporate entity tells me they’re giving me something for nothing is – how are they going to rip me off now. And sure enough, that’s always the outcome. Case in point: My TV cable provider, which comes with my condo dues, notified me that they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death by outsourcing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent news article reported that 90 percent of all the flowers purchased in the United States on Valentine’s Day came from South America. That sad fact leads me to conclude that in addition to not being able to produce cars, electronics, clothes, cell phones, oil, or even customer service representatives – we can’t even [...]]]></description>

		<title>All alone, and liking it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m almost embarrassed to say this, but I’m probably one of the very, very, few people in the country who did not watch the Super Bowl on Sunday! That’s right – believe it or not. Instead, I curled up on the sofa, fortified with a mountain of munchies, and spent the day watching an all-day [...]]]></description>

		<title>Newt scores a knockout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Newt Gingrich’s knockout punch to CNN’s John King in the televised debate on the eve of the South Carolina primary was, arguably, the primary (no pun intended) reason Newt trounced Mitt Romney, the favorite contender. Gingrich was trailing Romney by double digits in all polls when two things happened that changed the outcome, almost overnight. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holiday musings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does anyone else feel like they were gypped out of Thanksgiving? The turkey on the table hadn’t even cooled down yet before the stores opened for ‘Black Friday’ bargain hunting – a day early. Moreover, weeks before Halloween, the stores were putting up Christmas decorations! What happened to Turkey Day? It seemed to just fly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bump in the night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost everyone has a personal ghost story to tell, either one they experienced themselves or one that happened to somebody they know. So, being that today is Halloween – this seems a good time to tell mine. It happened to me about ten years ago, but I think of it often. I was down with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Over a barrel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Congress recently passed laws regulating bank and credit card charges passed on to its customers, my first reaction was … Yippee!  It&#8217;s about time someone&#8217;s finally looking out for us.  However, I should have known better. I should have known that banks and credit card companies are way smarter than our esteemed representatives, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A news junkie’s lament</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay – I’ll admit to being a news junkie. In fact, I can’t help myself from indulging in my daily dose of ‘doom-and-gloom.’ After the alarm goes off and I stumble bleary-eyed out of the bedroom, the first thing I do, even before firing up the coffee pot, is turn on the TV, which is [...]]]></description>
