		<title>Sunday of Joy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was the third Sunday of Advent &#8212; the sunday of Joy.

As a kid I didn&#8217;t love the Joy Sunday of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Potato Peeler &#8211; I actually Own One Of These</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the &#8220;Presto&#8221; Potato Peeler.  I have one of these that I picked up for free, but haven&#8217;t used.  After messing with it for 10 minutes trying to figure out how to make it work, I asked youtube to help me.  This wonderful woman demonstrated it excellently. It&#8217;s actually pretty neat, I&#8217;m going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m starting a band</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the first time since 2004, I can now genuinely say that I am putting effort and priority into my music. It started over this last Christmas holiday, when I was playing around with Mariah&#8217;s dad&#8217;s electric guitars and amps in the basement.  Then, when I returned home to Durham, I started picking up my [...]]]></description>

		<title>In which our protagonist learns to iron a shirt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Washing &#38; Ironing: How To Iron A Shirt This is a video I watched just recently, after a life time of bribing other people to iron my shirts for me.  It started in student Congress, circa age 15.  Before that I&#8217;d gotten my grandmother or mother to iron them, though the times I needed an [...]]]></description>

		<title>The story of how I came to be in Durham, NC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago I made a list of the 200-odd largest metropolitan areas in the USA.  Why just in this country?  I don&#8217;t know, I guess that was the Wikipedia entry I started with.  I know the list was actually just the continental US, &#8217;cause it didn&#8217;t include San Juan or Honolulu.  Then I cut [...]]]></description>

		<title>Foreign or Domestic?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For two main reasons, I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of foreign policy reading lately.   The first reason is that I realized I don&#8217;t actually have a super strong handle on foreign relations, at least not in comparison to my seemingly endless capacity to talk domestic policy and wonk out at will.  In an effort [...]]]></description>
