		<description><![CDATA[It snowed here in Seattle; five to six inches on the ground this morning when I woke up. It still hasn’t melted. Seattle usually gets a bit of snow once or twice a year, it stays for at most a week (ignoring that one year when I was young that it lasted two weeks) and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have recently read Haruki Murakami’s book “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running”. For those who are unfamiliar with his work, he is a Japanese novelist who also runs marathons. Before he started writing, he owned and managed a successful jazz club, but one day— in a revelation—he realized he could write [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes when I have more social engagements than usual, I feel that I don’t have any “alone time”. I know this is not really true; I just get less than I am accustomed too. It is silly to complain about such things, especially when I compare myself to my peers with young kids with basically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have this particular, reoccurring daydream. In it, I am alone in the woods, generally staying in a cabin, or maybe camping in a tent by a lake. I have my food taken care of: maybe a bag of rice and a bag of beans or possibly a supply of canned food. My time is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am sitting in a cushioned chair in the library right now, and feel the odd desire to describe everything that I am wearing. Although this is not really on the same topic as my usual posts, I think it will be an enjoyable exercise in writing. For lack of a better order, I will [...]]]></description>
