		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I wandered into some old files. It was both entertaining and embarrassing. That is how it goes with old files that contain old writing. I did find something I always kind of liked, however. It may be a bit silly and not have the serious, furrowed brow of great poetry &#8230; mais, c&#8217;est la [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week it was very hot and humid in New Brunswick. On Thursday, I decided to go into the backyard with the dog. The backyard has many flowers. More to the point, it has many trees and a good deal of shade. There are quite a few kinds of trees in the backyard, including a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve noticed, as you may have too, that we love absolutes, especially online. On Wednesday there was an opinion piece on the Globe and Mail site that said bloggers are male. Women who blog must have struggled with their sexual identity upon learning this. With trackable regularity, claims are made about this or that being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having lost his mind and making himself what I imagine to be the recipient of gazillions of limericks, Roger Ebert is running a little limerick contest. Below are five six of my lame efforts, only some of which I submitted. Please note: limericks are almost by definition ribald, so if you have a polite sensibility &#8212; [...]]]></description>

Then there&#8217;s the one within that power deal between the those for and those against. There are a lot of kneejerk responses to the power deal, some of which are [...]]]></description>

I think most would be roughly accurate so I won’t list them here. There are a few caveats, however. I always think of three [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I came across a discussion over on LinkedIn about &#8220;real&#8221; writers. It began with a post about how sometimes you can come across a bully type in writing discussions, someone asserting that to be a &#8220;real&#8221; writer a person had to meet certain requirements. Often these assertions are followed by litanies of the [...]]]></description>

By that I mean my memory is pretty awful so I’m doing some work to reclaim my memory by going through my various blog archives. It’s been something of a revelation.

		<description><![CDATA[This was meant to be lyrics for a song. Really. (Anyone want to write music for it?) I vaguely hear a rhythm and structure in my head but I can&#8217;t write music. The structure, by the way, is AAB-AAB-AAC-A. Yes, it&#8217;s light, even silly, and there are probably more than a few cliches in it. [...]]]></description>
