As she darted ahead of me into the horizon, I thought to myself, &#8220;She&#8217;s beautiful. The world is in good hands. This little gipper is gonna be alright.&#8221; That all changes in teenage years, I&#8217;m told. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If there&#8217;s one certainty I&#8217;ve observed in life, it is this: Rather than just eating more produce, less meat, and smaller portions of food, humans will vilify something in an effort to simplify complex food choices. Instead of accepting a &#8220;moderation in all things&#8221; approach to life — which limits superiority complexes and indulgence — they insist on inventing [...]]]></description>

The one that says ignorant things like “I’ll sleep when I’m dead,” “I’m busier than you,” or “I only require 3-4 hours of sleep.” This research by Harvard obviously doesn’t apply to you, because you’re the exception in life. You’re superhuman. For the rest of us, the study is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2013 might be to the &#8217;10s what 1991 was to the &#8217;90s — a monstrous year for name brand music. Phoenix already released their 4-star keeper. Vampire Weekend releases their third album next week to rave reviews (and another really great song). An all analog Daft Punk album follows a week later, which is also garnering favorable reviews and [...]]]></description>

(Yuck!) My absolute favorite varient of cheese, however, is Cabot&#8217;s Seriously Sharp Cheddar. It comes from grass-fed cows in Vermont that sleep on warm blankets and are often whispered words of [...]]]></description>

This is really great news for my home town. It means free 5 mbps internet for every household, free 1000 mbps Internet for 25 public institutions, and $70/mo. 1000 mbps Internet for anyone who wants [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend and I have been discussing touring band members and studio musicians today. After I complimented Phoenix&#8217;s rockin&#8217; touring drummer, my buddy emailed this: &#8220;I always have mixed feelings about the use of utility musicians in live performances. While I appreciate Phoenix having them all clearly visible on stage, it drives me a little spare to see The Killers or [...]]]></description>
