		<title>A quick one, while I was away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Man, I am lucky. That&#8217;s the only way I can figure out how I got to spend last week the way I did. If I hadn&#8217;t gone to last year&#8217;s World Fantasy Convention, if I hadn&#8217;t wound up sharing a room with Daryl Gregory, if I hadn&#8217;t gone room-hopping with everyone, I would have been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Because I Want Things To Be Better</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to write this down because I need a place to put it. The problem with Twitter is that things move quickly, and it&#8217;s a bitch to nail down something I find funny or poignant or important. This is Twitter&#8217;s curse and its triumph: it&#8217;s a snapshot of what&#8217;s going on, a place to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Six weeks in, and what I&#8217;ve learned</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1) Babies are noisy. And I&#8217;m not talking about the crying bits; I was totally ready for that. What still throws me is when Grace is asleep and completely calm, she&#8217;ll turn her head and honk. How does someone so tiny get so much volume? 2) God, I love putting her in the sling and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grace, Internets. Internets, Grace.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grace is snoozing away in Anne&#8217;s arms while our lunch (rice and dumplings) and dinner (roast chicken with pesto) cook away. This will be the first non-hospital food we&#8217;ve had in two days, though I recall us sneaking in a patty melt and milkshake from Izzy&#8217;s the night she was born. Really, this is all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recipes You Should Try: Butternut Squash Ravioli with Scallops in Sage Brown Butter (#2 In An Occasional Series)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note: the filling works really, really well as a side dish. You can also toss some sweet potato in if you like. Second note: this takes some time, so either do it in two parts (filling one night, ravioli the next), or make it a group activity. And now: the food. Ravioli filling: 3 oz [...]]]></description>

		<title>#w00tstock! If you remember it, it&#8217;s probably because you read about it on Twitter.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was in high school, I was at Wendy Grace&#8217;s house watching &#8220;The Commitments&#8221; with a group of friends. At some point, for some reason that I couldn&#8217;t identify then and sure as hell couldn&#8217;t now, my friend, Rob, and I started laughing and could not stop. (Note for clarification: we were not on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Councilman Shriver&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Bobby! It&#8217;s your old buddy, Adam. Remember me? You called me last November and asked me to vote for you, and I said I wouldn&#8217;t because you were promoting that ballot measure that the I&#8217;ve-Got-Mine Homeowners association was pushing? Of course you remember me. We&#8217;re buds! Anyway, remember how we were talking about the [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;and that&#8217;s a season. Whew.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year, I cracked open Joel Friel&#8217;s Cyclist&#8217;s Training Bible to design a training schedule. The first step was to define goals for the season. They had to reasonable and reachable. I chose finishing mid-pack at Brentwood and the CBR finals and doing the state ITT in 1:05. Yesterday was the CBR finals, and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s not my policy to respond to trolls, but&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;it is my policy to correct spelling, punctuation and grammar. In this day and age of instant messaging, sending Tweets and cranking out notes with T9 predictive text, I think it&#8217;s important that we all strive to be as clear and concise as possible. I know that when I get an indecipherable email from someone [...]]]></description>
