		<title>Grey Gardens, Highly Recommended</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In January, I re-subscribed to Netflix to give my housemate new films to watch while I work in the afternoons. I go to the site from time to time to update the queue and earlier in the week saw the HBO movie &#34;Grey Gardens&#34; listed as a new release. I immediately put it at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pondering Purpose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My more contemplative blogging has been interrupted of late by a little thing called &#34;bountiful work.&#34; The change that can make in a person&#8217;s attitude borders on the miraculous. Each night as I begin to tend to all the little end-of-day chores, I find myself looking forward to getting up at 4 a.m., both for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pondering the Mind/Body Connection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past few weeks we’ve been grappling with a landscape lighting issue here at our tiny townhouse complex. The sticking point is a neighbor who is both mentally challenged and deaf. Her cable wire has now been cut twice and because she is accustomed to getting what she wants, when she wants it from [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Act of Spontaneous Generosity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was the recipient of a spontaneous act of generosity. After getting up at 4:30 to tackle various projects, I spent two hours just trying to coax my MacBook back to life. The machine&#8217;s problems started in October and the crash yesterday was a harbinger of worse to come. Consequently, I wrote a frustrated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Communities Transcending Time and Space</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a strange juxtaposition of moods in this house. The happier I get with my work situation and my online life, the more unhappy my housemate seems to become. After the dramatic job shift in December, things have begun to arrange themselves well for me. I am being paid better wages to work on [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Shifting Landscape</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My hiatus of several days from this blog can be explained by the simple and fortuitous fact that I&#8217;ve had plenty of work to do with good prospects for more to come. I need to work, not just due to the necessity of income. I do not do well when I don&#8217;t have something real [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Interesting Example in Laying Blame</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night at the Winter Olympics, Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer listened to his coach in the 10,000-meter race and changed lanes. Kramer is the world champion. He holds the record for the distance. He knows the event, but he listened to his coach.
His coach was wrong. The lane change was illegal, and Kramer lost [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;I never bother you.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I had a successful moment of practicing what I preach. I awakened spontaneously at 5 a.m. and instead of rolling over and going back to sleep, I turned on the light and went to work. Consequently, I&#8217;ve had five productive hours and it&#8217;s only mid-morning.
In part, I know I was eager to look [...]]]></description>

		<title>Troublesome 36 Hours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Deviations from the norm haven&#8217;t been a good idea around here for a couple of years now, but two examples yesterday and today have re-emphasized that for me.
Yesterday I had an online business meeting that ran past two hours. I was discussing the potential of working in greater depth with a writing client and we [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Ill Wind in Our Nation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A professor killing three colleagues in Alabama during a faculty meeting.
A software engineer / bass guitarist flying a plane into an IRS building in Austin.
A California man bulldozing his foreclosed home. (He never missed a payment, the bank just decided to seize the property anyway.)
The John Birch Society co-sponsoring a national meeting of conservatives &#8212; [...]]]></description>
