		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, I read an article about why cats and dogs don&#8217;t get along that completely fascinated me and has stuck with me ever since. What it basically boiled down to was a fundamental mutual misunderstanding. Cats and dogs, it seems, communicate using body language that in many cases has opposite meanings, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve decided I shouldn&#8217;t wait until my loved ones die to write them love letters. It&#8217;s your turn. This year was supposed to be so much better, right? I remember the end of last year, swaying with the crowd, singing &#8220;Start Wearing Purple&#8221; like it would become the anthem of 2010, the very essence of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All year long I planned to write you a letter on or near the anniversary of your death. Sometimes I considered writing you letters throughout the year and saving them as email drafts, and I have very often done exactly that in my head. But as the important date(s) crept up on me, I&#8217;ve found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel a strong pull toward blogging today, but I&#8217;m not really sure what it is I need to write about. Obviously, I need to write about something, because it&#8217;s rare lately that I get these itches to write. But what? That answer is not immediately apparent. I&#8217;m hoping that just typing for a bit [...]]]></description>

So I felt like sharing my ferociously awesome enchilada recipe with you. It&#8217;s not very healthy, but it IS easy to make and easy to modify [...]]]></description>

Because he&#8217;s so young, I&#8217;m not really giving him hard core training or anything, but there are small things I&#8217;m doing to teach him [...]]]></description>

In fact, though I have two cats and love them completely, I have always considered myself first and foremost to be a dog person. But getting a dog never seemed to be right for so many reasons.

In fact, if I weren&#8217;t so lazy, I could probably search in the archives of this very site just a little bit and find several occasions where I described myself in some way that seemed mellow.

		<description><![CDATA[It all started one night way back in January, or maybe even late December, on the night Seth wanted fried chicken for dinner. That&#8217;s it. Fried chicken. It should have been totally simple. Of course, I don&#8217;t really cook, and I certainly don&#8217;t fry chicken, so the fried chicken dinner would have to come from [...]]]></description>
