		<description><![CDATA[In the last week, I read two articles by tech women talking about the overwhelming sexism they experience in the workplace, to the point that one women had considered switching careers.  The remarks they experienced were hella denigrating, but also the guys who said these remarks were clueless as to how horrible it is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently finished A Universe From Nothing: Why there is something rather than nothing, which I have to say, was a little disappointing.  Even though the physics were clearly explained and even somewhat exciting, the overall tone of the book is a bit pedantic.  
I&#8217;ve contemplated this very question quite a bit and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been having GI issues.  GI as in gastrointestinal, not military personnel.  I sought out help from the medical establishment and whoa, that was no fun.  Because since I am over 50, the minute I show up in a doctor&#8217;s office, everyone starts shouting, &#8220;COLONOSCOPY! COLONOSCOPY!&#8221; like a murder of crows. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, after another long hiatus of about two months, Tzipi showed up in my yard with Mississippi.  O.J. was screeping in the trees so Tzipi looked a bit nervous.  He still flew to my hands twice as per his custom; once to get a nut that he ate on the bird bath, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My latest adventure inside my brain was both frustrating and productive.  
I was dreaming that I was at a conference when I became lucid.  I thought, okay, time to float up, but it actually took a few times before I could float.  This seemed ridiculous as I knew I was dreaming and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At this point, every time I realize I&#8217;m dreaming, I immediately try to fly.  Part of me feels this is incredibly unoriginal, but it is so fun that I can&#8217;t seem to think of something else to try.
I had another weird experience recently which involved lucid dreaming and flying.  I dreamt I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[K and I have noted recently that the structure of the middle-class family in the U.S. has changed.  Particularly, the expectations and desires of young adults today (which I&#8217;ll identify as anyone 18-30) are completely different from our generation.  This stems from entirely different parenting styles than we experienced.  
When we were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tzipi came back.
After several months of not seeing him, I had to face the cold fact that Tzipi might be dead. Of course, I hoped he had just moved away because of O.J.&#8217;s bullying, but life in the wild being what it is, it was just as likely that he was gone for good.
