Specifically, I&#8217;m talking [...]]]></description>

That there is more than phonetics connecting the two. It turns out that I wasn&#8217;t far off.

Something that I wouldn&#8217;t mind embedded in my skin for the decades of my life I&#8217;ve yet to live. As I&#8217;ve grown older, though, some very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost 300 years ago now the original founders of the United States chose to rebel against an oppressive regime in order to secure the right of self-rule. No matter the men&#8217;s motivation &#8212; liberty, lower taxes, business, etc. &#8212; the goal is still a valid one: self-rule. When we talk about the right to vote, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is Tucker, our new cat. We just picked him up tonight. He&#8217;s about ten weeks old and just about as playful as he is cute. I don&#8217;t really have anything else to say about him, other than the announcement that he&#8217;s here. Oh. And that he&#8217;s god-awfully cute. Danielle will get a chance to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year we&#8217;ve decided to replant the family garden. The plot my mother, father, and I used to use is about 3,000 square feet and should be plenty for my father, sister, and the three of us here in MA. There&#8217;s something phenomenally exciting to me about this plan. Not only does it involve more [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s an AWD V6 XLT with just over 75,000 miles on him. We got him a few weeks ago as a replacement for our 1994 Saab 900s named &#8220;Garrincha&#8221;: a great car, but [...]]]></description>

The snow had just melted and I was playing Aerobie with the three of them. A particularly accurate and &#8212; if I may say so &#8212; brilliant throw from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I do this little experiment, I&#8217;m making some finds and reconfirmations of things that are viable replacements for google-based technology. Here&#8217;s my list so far: Jabber is a great, free, open source IM protocol. Keep all of your contacts from GTalk, too. I&#8217;m using the chrome.pl server.

Turns out WordPress has built-in import tools, so all I had to do was figure out how to get it to work with blogger.com (hint: the secret is to transform your blogger.com blog into one hosted at blogspot). Now, to explain a bit about what I&#8217;m doing. I&#8217;ve been watching Google for a number [...]]]></description>
