		<description><![CDATA[...and into a dry martini.&#8221;  Robert Benchley
I&#8217;ve picked up on a trend in the foodie world - that of offering cocktails to complement the dinner about to be presented. I&#8217;ve always been curious about cocktails, but too cheap to fork over a lot of money for them. They pad one&#8217;s dinner tab unnecessarily. Then I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[15 March 2010
Today&#8217;s paper heralded the bad news for Virginia&#8217;s schools. The General Assembly has gutted their budgets to the tune of $645 million. Our delegate, Bill Cleaveland, another of those who opposes &#8220;Big Government,&#8221; said &#8220;My expectation is that if we can just rally through this hard time, and just understand that we&#8217;re going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past year I experienced a disappointment. Not a little one, mind you. Rather the kind that makes a person suck in her breath and wonder &#8216;what the hell just happened here?&#8217; The result was spending way too much time and energy contemplating the situation and wondering what to do about it. The answer, by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was in Bang and Lily&#8217;s nail salon yesterday, having my feet attended to when a perfectly charming elderly lady struck up a conversation over the color of polish I had selected. She loved it. &#8220;What&#8217;s that called?&#8221; she asked.
&#8220;O&#8217;Hare and Nails,&#8221; I replied. &#8220;It&#8217;s one of the Chicago series of colors that they are [...]]]></description>

The Star City is expecting a weather event. It&#8217;s coming up from the Gulf, so the chance for &#8216;participation&#8217; has increased to the point where even having Elvis as a greeter at the Wally did not tame the masses who decimated the milk, eggs and bread shelves.
I know how absolutely insane this must [...]]]></description>

A friend just sent me an article by Barbara Ehrenreich about the Pink Ribbon Cult. It was, as ever, an astute summary of the situation with women&#8217;s health issues. As a breast cancer survivor, she is uniquely positioned to make the point that women rolled over and played dead about the Stupak Amendment [...]]]></description>

Several years ago, my friend the accountant, Godfadda, told me I didn&#8217;t have to hang onto financial stuff for as long as I did. I made a mental note to get into the storage area and do a purge, and I sort of did it. By that time, the whole identity theft scare [...]]]></description>

This one&#8217;s for you, Mom. I&#8217;m cleaning my room, as directed.
