		<description><![CDATA[I just found this post in my archives labeled as pending.  I was supposed it in October of 2007 but never did.
&#8220;Ok, I just can&#8217;t function at such and extreme level of concern for politics and the future of our country.  It is daunting and there is nothing I can do about it from here.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another day of sorting out reality.
Is it possible to be too transparent with those around you? Sometimes I think I say too much about how I feel and regret it.  I don&#8217;t know.  Time will tell if it comes back to bite me.
Adam just got back home from another night shift at Bean&#8217;s&#8230;.the classic seasonal [...]]]></description>
