		<description><![CDATA[As you may know from one of my previous postings, in 2011 I had my 50th birthday. I was trying to think of something special to do in order to more fully celebrate that lovely life marker, but couldn&#039;t come up with anything that felt quite right. Then I heard a woman talking in a [...]]]></description>

Several things went by the wayside as I tried to be sure I completed all the reading, thinking, and writing required for my doctoral program. Keeping up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is my 50th birthday. Lying in bed this morning, listening with pleasure to the lovely silvery sound of the falling rain, I found myself pondering an alarming dream from last night, where I had to save the life of a feral kitten from a thoughtlessly cruel acquaintance &#8212; a kitten I unwittingly handed over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is 11 September 2011, the ten year anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11. Many people have spoken and created many moving eulogies to those who died on that day. I&#039;ve also heard of interviews with survivors, including one man who was among the only four who survived despite being above the 100th floor of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had an interesting bit of cognitive dissonance the other day, upon hearing about Slutwalks. For those who haven&#039;t yet heard of them, earlier in 2011 a male cop in Toronto was apparently giving an anti-rape class to a bunch of women. During the class he mentioned one way to avoid being raped was to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sunday morning as I head to classes I pass many homeless sleeping in doorways. One of them is sitting up and blearily looking around. Next to him sits a small cat in a red harness, looking alert, well-fed, and calm. I grin at the cute kitty, and the man &#8212; in his wheezing, cracked voice [...]]]></description>

I sleep here in the hotel with earplugs on, but I can still faintly hear the roaring of engines, screaming and yelping of sirens, occasional yells and swearing and shouting, the constant low-level hum-throb of traffic&#8230; if I wake up around 4 in the morning it&#039;s [...]]]></description>

It&#039;s going to be an 11 night stay, including all the extra retreats, welcome dinners, and caucus demonstrations.

		<description><![CDATA[Alas, it gets worse. The narrator rambles on in the same demagogic vein about the &#034;mutant albino&#034; crocodiles, ending with a close-up shot of one of the small white reptiles staring bemusedly back at us from where it floats in the water, behind glass. Herzog continues with his inflammatory nonsense, wondering aloud: &#034;When&#034; the albinos [...]]]></description>

Painted on one is a herd of sturdy bison warily watching an even closer bulge of rock covered with a pride of lions. Interestingly, most of the animals painted are at side view, but there [...]]]></description>
