		<title>Hi, Mom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m done with this &#8216;blog for a while, and I have no clear intention of returning to it. Marc and I are pretty busy at Analytical Life, though. Come on by.

		<title>Happy Twenty-Ten!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At this time last year, I was soul-crushingly idle at work, fat&#8211;well, pudgy anyway&#8211;bored, miserable, and lazy. The year ahead of me included my firstborn&#8217;s wedding and my own 25th high school reunion. I guess I forgot to include &#8220;old&#8221; above.

But there are seven words for which I am grateful: &#8220;Eat food, not too much, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Miscellany</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Marc and I have some projects underway, and I&#8217;m likely to be using this space&#8211;or at least the site in general&#8211;as a sandbox. Email shouldn&#8217;t be affected, but don&#8217;t panic if this particular blog disappears for a while.

		<title>Old Question Answered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing around with themes, mostly for later application to the band site, but also for an idea I have working. Anyway, I stumbled across my old &#34;why would JOHNATHAN be a restricted word&#34; problem.
The answer is that I had already used the same name for the computer. I don&#8217;t really know why it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Priorities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know, I have no fucking idea where&#8212;or if&#8212;I&#8217;m going to be working a year from now, but I have to admit, life is good. On Saturday night, I&#8217;m going to Purgatory (potentially NSFW). I did promise. I&#8217;m only mildly&#8212;very, very mildly&#8212;disappointed that I&#8217;ll not be hanging out with tired, sweaty teenagers at ASU. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Then again&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;maybe I didn&#8217;t write him off too soon. (What I&#8221;ve been saying lately, but probably more coherently.) This country needs a hero, and all we can manage to get is cardboard cut-outs. /sigh

		<title>When Life Hands You Lemons&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;and pitchers and sugar and water and &#8230;,  you have to make lemonade.
It&#8217;s sad to see magazines dying. The one I&#8217;ll eventually miss most is Playboy, but you know if something so established mainstream as Newsweek is hurting, the ad-supported mags going into even greater depth or expressing more diverse views probably can&#8217;t stand [...]]]></description>

		<title>I May Have Written This Guy Off Too Early</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze – a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many.
