		<description><![CDATA[My idea of &#8220;fun&#8221; lately has been to repurpose an old Mac G3 tower I bought for $5 more than three years ago into a Linux server.
It&#8217;s been a valuable learning experience. The scary part is I&#8217;m actually enjoying the command line. I&#8217;m considering dropping a GUI interface on top to use from time to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the reasons I like reading Paul Krugman is that he can hit the nail on the head in very plain language:
To me — and I’m not alone in this — the sudden outbreak of deficit hysteria brings back memories of the groupthink that took hold during the run-up to the Iraq war. Now, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The girls had a sleepover Saturday. What that usually means is Pippin, who normally sleeps with Abby, gets relegated to the kitchen.
Why?
Because when the girls have a sleepover, they usually sleep in the den. Why some of them like to sleep on the coffee table is another bizarre story&#8230;
We keep Pippin out of the den. [...]]]></description>

Neither Susan nor I have had a chance to test it out, but considering how unbalanced we both are, this could [...]]]></description>

When the kids are licking the bowl as they did tonight, you can take satisfaction in knowing you did a good job. On the flip side, the leftover bacon has already been claimed by Camille for breakfast in [...]]]></description>

Last August, I learned that my staff had won a first place Missouri Lifestyle Journalism Award. This August, after some bureaucratic snafus and a mailing mishap that left the first trophy a shattered mess, we got the replacement. 
When I pulled it out of the box, I found myself paraphrasing Chief Brody in &#8220;Jaws&#8221;: &#8220;We&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

They spent two weeks with my parents in June, which is probably more of a vaction for them than for us. My Dad cooks whatever they want. There are multiple [...]]]></description>
