		<title>Chocolate and Butter and Sugar, oh my!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are going to a gathering in Michigan next weekend.  It&#8217;s sort of a chosen-family reunion, though in this instance we aren&#8217;t among those doing the choosing, we are among those invited.  But like most such gatherings, a lot of what people do is talk and eat.  That, of course, is where [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wherein My Cat Fails Physics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dearest Fluffbrain,
If you want me to fill that bowl, get your furry face out of it.
prrip?
Yes, Cloud, I am talking to you. Kitty food will not go through a kitty head. The bone is solid, even if there is nothing but fluff inside it.
prrrreow?
Yes, of course I still love you. You&#8217;re my sweet cuddly calico [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fractured Phrases</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My son often remembers that there is an idiomatic phrase for an idea, but not the exact words.  That doesn&#8217;t slow him down; he just makes something up on the fly.  He also generally chooses to have serious conversations while we&#8217;re in the car going someplace.  This morning he wanted to know [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Local Entertainment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As has been often observed in this blog, Miss Cloud is quite the clown.   She ran true to form when I decided to practice my camera skills on her.  It&#8217;s a new camera, one which my friend Rana helped me choose.  (Thanks, Rana!)  This included investigating the wrist strap even as I attempted to focus [...]]]></description>

		<title>About Time&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mom made a comment about not knowing what my cats looked like.  So in order to remedy that, I&#8217;ll be snapping photos of them as they consent to hold still for it.  Tornado posed first, so here she is.  

&#8220;Now what, Mom?&#8221;

		<title>An &#8220;Ordinary&#8221; Heroine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Miep Gies, the woman who found Anne Frank&#8217;s diary and saved it, has died at age 100.  She was in her early thirties when the Nazis first came to Holland.  Her employer, Otto Frank, had moved his family to Amsterdam to escape the increasing virulence of the Nazi regime in their native Germany. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creative Self-expression</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like many parents of middle-schoolers, we are working with our son on monitoring the use of, shall we say, forcible language.  He hears vulgarity a lot in school, simply because he&#8217;s at the age where the boys seem to think it proves how bold, fearless and (im)mature they are.  And like many kids [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Virtue of Winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really don&#8217;t mind winter.  I find it pretty, if sometimes severe.  I&#8217;m not crazy about driving on ice, and snow-shoveling is a thing I avoid if humanly possible, but I can deal with cold a whole lot better than I can heat.  
The cold does have one very practical benefit, though. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Case of Mattresscide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine just posted an entry on her blog talking about helping one of her teachers extract a jammed ball from a flint-lock rifle, because she had expertise and tools he lacked.  It ends well; she not only got the ball out of the barrel, but was able to tell him why [...]]]></description>
