		<description><![CDATA[I grew up with the expression playing possum: pretending to be asleep when you weren&#8217;t. You know, it was time to clean up your room and you pretended to be taking a nap. Where did that phrase come from? It seems that possums simulate death in order to keep a predator at bay. Seemed a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You should understand that Buddy is no ordinary dog. Yeah, I know, everybody thinks that about their dog &#8230; but there is something about Buddy Bear that invites above-and-beyond behavior from his devotees. Case in point: Cousin Mary, a reasonably intact 80-something cousin of Robert&#8217;s who is otherwise essentially sane.  She has a real jones for [...]]]></description>

Christmas was with our precious friends in Knoxville, and what with packing and traveling, Robert and I sort of postponed actually giving each other anything. &#8220;The trip itself will be our gifts to each [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, a disclaimer: I send sincere sympathy to people in the midwest, battling that vicious winter storm. I admire how you push on through, persevere through ice and snow and lost power. Having said that, I&#8217;d like to tell you about another side of snow—the delight it brings to folks who seldom see it. Here [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chapter Two of SQUIRREL! CHIMNEY! Last night friend Barbara, the critter expert, suggested that we call Animal Control today and tell &#8216;em we have an agitated animal down our chimney and fear it might be rabid. They would then come and remove it. &#8220;That&#8217;s their job,&#8221; she said. [With an aluminum pole and a noose????] [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As everyone in earshot knows, for two weeks I&#8217;ve been on the Every Other Day diet. You do a semi-fast on, say, Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and eat normally (!) on the other days. In two weeks I have lost six or seven pounds (my scales like to tease me) and gained considerable smugness. I have also been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy 2010! What a challenging decade we&#8217;ve just been through. As a friend wrote, &#8220;Happiness is the 00s in the rear-view mirror.&#8221; So, welcome to the shiny new-and-improved decade. [Do you say two-thousand-&#38;-ten or twenty-ten? I say twenty-ten because I used to say nineteen-eighty, etc., but I think I'm in the minority. If you vote strongly for either one, drop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read back through my last three posts (a writer&#8217;s self-gratification&#8230;or not), and realize that they are all about vehicles. As a psychotherapist I ask myself whether there is a hidden significance therein. So far the answer has come back, Naaaah. But the number of wheels is a recurring theme. First, let&#8217;s eliminate any fantasy [...]]]></description>
