		<title>Blinding Optimism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know the old saying about even a blind dog sometimes being able to find a bone?   The meaning, of course, is that every once in a while life throws a little good our way, so chin up.  Be happy.  See the glass as half full. At my house, we’ve changed the saying, though.  It goes [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Best Man Ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My granddad, Horace Adams, turns 89 today.  I called this morning to wish him a Happy Birthday, and when he answered, he told me he was reading. That he was reading was good news.  Last summer, he had cataract surgery on his good eye.  A scratched cornea during his recovery caused concern that he wouldn’t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let Them Eat Dirt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past week, my home looked like a scene from The Exorcist.  My kid woke up New Year’s Day with a nasty stomach bug that acted suspiciously like what would happen if a 16-year-old boy had a celebratory shot or two with his older sister.  But after about the fifth time he puked, I realized [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solving (or maybe just screwing with) Existential Angst</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; In early 1992, my husband and I began construction on a new home.  We’d put our home on the market, sold it within a week, and given every penny we had to a “preferred” builder in the new neighborhood we’d chosen as a deposit on the new place. Right around the time the roof [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Can Keep Riding Topless!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Apparently, stop doesn’t really mean stop. I took my car in for service today.  It’s a great little convertible, perfect for a girl who lives on the beach.  But I’ve been thinking about getting rid of it.  First of all, I already have a 5-year-old SUV with 100,000 miles on it that has never [...]]]></description>

		<title>That Crimson Jeep Makes Me Weep</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s exactly 373 miles from my home in St. Augustine, Florida, to the one I recently sold in McDonough, Georgia, a town that has been swallowed up in the urban sprawl of Atlanta. I purchased the Florida house in April 2007, two months after my divorce was final.  It was supposed to be my second [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enough Bunnies to Make Hef Jealous</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My sister is an intelligent woman.  She’s a college professor who will soon have a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology.   In addition, she runs a home that used to include a husband, four young children, three dogs, four turtles, several frogs, a hermit crab, a cat, and a rabbit named BunBun.  But the cat despised both [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diligence is Going to the Dogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; When I was a child, my parents read to my brother, sister, and me every evening from a giant book called Character Sketches that used animals to illustrate Christian values.  I came across that old tome recently and was a little surprised to find that a book about eternal values illustrated with something as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who Are Ewe?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The instructors in the Spalding University MFA in Writing Program don’t usually give us students actual assignments.  We have the freedom to go where our creativity takes us.  But this semester, I did get a specific assignment:  find a newspaper from the day you were born, and write about what was happening when you came [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tissue Issue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have trouble buying toilet paper.  The big rolls, giant rolls, and mega rolls confuse me.  Why can&#8217;t there just be one size of roll &#8212; mega is fine &#8212; so that we all know what we&#8217;re buying? I just paid $12 for a Charmin Ultra Soft MegaRoll pack declaring that 9 MEGARolls! = 36 [...]]]></description>
