		<title>So&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My stress level is pretty much off the chart right now to begin with and will be for the next ten days or so. What does not help is long, rambling 25-minute phone calls from my dad, strategically placed at the precise moment when I&#8217;m trying simultaneously to deal with work, a busted computer monitor, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Me like</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;m about a year late to the party but I met Portlandia tonight and it makes me happy. Thirty seconds in I laughed out loud at &#8220;Portland is a place where young people go to retire.&#8221; And then I laughed out loud many more times. I haven&#8217;t done that in a while. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>No limits?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I keep hearing these radio ads for some Walmart/T-Moblie phone plan. For $35 or something (I can&#8217;t be bothered to look it up) you get &#8220;unlimited talk, text, and web.&#8221; A few seconds later there is reference to &#8220;unlimited web for the first 250MB.&#8221; Correct me if I&#8217;m wrong but doesn&#8217;t that constitute&#8230;well&#8230;a limit?]]></description>

		<title>Exhausted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to some help from a higher-up, I had rather a major coup today with respect to my grant project, albeit not something I can talk about here at the moment. It&#8217;s a good thing and will give my application (and the project, if funded) terrific credibility, but the timing was&#8230;ummm..a might inconvenient, coming a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did you ever&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;ask yourself at 10:00 on a Sunday night, &#8220;What the hell happened to my weekend?&#8221; Me too. But at least I do feel a slight sense of accomplishment. It&#8217;s gonna be a long week, though.]]></description>

		<title>Border breakfast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Correct me if I&#8217;m wrong but I vaguely remember the Taco Bell on Drumm Street in San Francisco having served breakfast a good ten years ago. It wasn&#8217;t, as I recall, very good.]]></description>

		<title>Acting my age</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking earlier this morning about how I used to always feel younger than my years and how that&#8217;s no longer as true as it used to be. As you might guess, I was viewing this development rather negatively at the time. But now that I think about it, maybe it&#8217;s a healthy thing&#8211;a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Come back, zinc&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t even recall if we were at a party or in a bar. That&#8217;s how fuzzy it is. But I remember talking to my boss about how he&#8217;d lost a fortune investing in Canadian zinc mines. That really surprised me, but he emptied his pockets and all he had was a five and a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Randomly Friday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Random thoughts for the last Friday in January: It&#8217;s kind if a drag that it&#8217;s never really seemed like winter here this year, but I must admit that that the $107 gas bill I just received (half of last January&#8217;s) went a long way toward easing my pain. I may make a quick trip to [...]]]></description>
