		<description><![CDATA[Every day after lunch, Chad and I take a leisurely stroll down our very long driveway to check the mail. It's a nice break in the middle of the day, a chance to get outside for two people who work from home and could go from the time they wake up until the end of the working day without ever seeing the sun.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've been fascinated by bonsai trees for over twenty years. I started out buying pre-made bonsais from places like Sam's Club or Target. Invariably, they all died. After reading a few bonsai books, I understood why and decided to follow the advice of those same books -- grow and train my own. I placed seeds in the freezer for a few weeks, like the books said, then planted them in pots at the precise depth the books said -- and watched them fail to sprout. I bought junipers, box elders, and other evergreen shrubs from places like Lowes and Home Depot, carefully transferred them to bonsai pots, trimmed them, watered them, did everything the books told me to do. And, invariably, they all died. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm not a bird person. It's not that I don't like birds. It's just that I've never been very interested in them, beyond pointing out hawks sitting on poles by the highway, or looking for owls in the trees by my old house, or being entranced as a massive flock of unspecified birds wheels left and right, up and down in perfect choreography (which is, if you've never seen it, amazingly cool to watch).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We got Freya&#8217;s biopsy results today, and everything looks good. The pathologist found no sign of cancer, so that&#8217;s a huge relief. The inflammation also appears to be a recent change &#8212; no sign of scarring, which apparently would have made it harder to get Freya back to 100%. So that&#8217;s good news.
For now, Freya [...]]]></description>

And she isn&#8217;t simply not eating. She&#8217;s running away from the food. Set her down front of it, and she&#8217;ll take one sniff then bolt [...]]]></description>

Infecting him with the stench of cotton rag and printer's ink. Stuart's fate had been sealed before he could talk. His father had trapped him in this business.]]></description>

But nothing lasts forever, and wedding guests feel awkward showing up empty-handed. So each brought a box as covered with ribbons and bows on the outside as it was empty within. ]]></description>
