		<title>I mean, seriously&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No way. This is *so* not what I signed up for. I mean, seriously. If I had known it would be like this, well, I don’t know if I’d even be here. This is ridiculous. I mean, seriously. As if I didn’t have enough to deal with already in the course of a day. Are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is the circle complete, or did I just lap myself?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You want to know what I&#8217;m thinking, do you? That could sound really egotistical, but for the fact that you clicked on the link that brought you here. It&#8217;s ok, I&#8217;ve been blogging long enough to know not to take it too seriously. So what? No big. You want to know what I&#8217;m thinking. Well, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back by singular demand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Niff said to, and so I am. I have no internet conection at home right now beyond my iPhone, and so this&#8217;ll be sketchy at best at first, but I have enough words in my head to put the Library of Congress to shame. It&#8217;s time to start outsourcing some of the load again. Right [...]]]></description>

		<title>It might be time to close up shop&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a month it will have been a year since I wrote why I hadn&#8217;t written in half a year. I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;s really time to lay this site to rest. Over the years I&#8217;ve grown and changed, and my readership has shifted again and again. I&#8217;ve alienated and offended people. I&#8217;ve baffled and bemused. [...]]]></description>

		<title>What ever happened to the woman who used to write here?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For months now, I have wrestled with varying degrees of resistance to writing here, ranging from my own reticence for fear of pride to outright stupor of thought those times when I&#8217;d made up my little mortal mind to just roll my sleeves up and have at it. I&#8217;ve called up screens and stared at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home Sweet Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday morning, a three-week-long trip to Ohio to visit my father&#8217;s family drew to a close. At the thought of leaving my childhood home to fly the 2,000+ miles to return to our home in Washington state, something in my heart just crumpled. I cried like nothing else. I just couldn&#8217;t imagine being away from [...]]]></description>

		<title>How much will I lay on the altar?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seeking to live God&#8217;s ways in man&#8217;s world often entails a certain amount of sacrifice. Some of the pleasures and delights of the mortal moment are foregone in favor of eternal light and love. Thus a greater joy is achieved in a lesser sacrifice. While we may know this truth and understand the logic of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Voices for the Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a project that I have been personally involved with and, if you value your rights, I am hoping that you will feel to check it out and speak out. You can do so at Voices for the Children. The Senate Judiciary Committee, at the request of Senator Harry Reid, is going to convene [...]]]></description>

		<title>Extending the Metaphor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In his open letter to Texas Governor Rick Perry and 51st District Court Judge Barbara Walther, Samuel W. Roundy illustrates the fundamentally flawed nature in which the state has gone about &#8216;learning about&#8217; the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints with an intriguing metaphor. Brother Roundy writes: These people, according to their [...]]]></description>

		<title>A heart divided</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A house divided against itself cannot stand, and a mind divided against itself cannot write. Having taken a stance in behalf of the FLDS at a time when the church into which I was baptized 13 years ago has taken a bafflingly aggresive public stance against them has placed me in a very awkward situation.
