		<title>Somewhat short of letting go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have joked with my friends that the twin keys of manipulating me are guilt and responsibility.  My entire life has been driven by those two forces.  With apologies to Jodifur, three minutes with me, and you are convinced that I was secretly raised by a Jewish mother, despite my obviously Nordic heritage.
There are few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kid Fears</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night Harry had his first attack of real fear.  We were watching, of all things, an episode of  &#8221;Phineas and Ferb&#8221; &#8211; one of his all-time favorite shows, and at least tolerable for parental viewing &#8211; and suddenly he said &#8220;Mommy, turn this off.  I am scared. I don&#8217;t want to watch this anymore.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I really want.  Right now.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will update you on my current, and lately not unexpected, bout of silence, when my brain has stopped imploding.  The short of it is that there really ARE businesses in this world whose business model is to exploit the bid protest system, saturating it with protests of no particular merit, in order to [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s just a game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Except when it isn&#8217;t.
My husband and I are not huge football fans.  I will admit to being an NCAA loyalist.  I cheer for my alma maters.  I am a dedicated Razorbacks fan, until the few occasions where they play Missouri.  Then I am a Mizzou Tigers fan, through and through.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Iced in (or, the virtues of home on a cold day)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hate driving.  If my town had any reasonable kind of reliable mass transit, I would give it up in a heartbeat.  When I take my bi-monthly trips to Washington DC, I do not rent a car and I happily take the Metro and buses everywhere.
This does not mean, however, that I can&#8217;t drive.  In [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s 9:00, do you know where YOUR mother is?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If she is like me, she is still at work, and Daddy is tucking you in.
I love my job.  Mostly.
But right now?  I am feeling a bit tested.

		<title>And yet another PSA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I am being peevish, I have another useful announcement.  This for the people in the children&#8217;s clothing industry.  So,  here I go, up on the soap box:
&#60;tap, tap, tap&#62; Is this thing on?
Good.  Okay.
To the makers of little boys&#8217; jeans:
Little boys need pockets.
While I would have thought that this would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some Household Mythbusting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To the husbands and children of the universe:
I apologize in advance if I shatter some long-cherished myths along the lines of the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, but I have an announcement to make:
Ahem.
No.  It is not fairies who pick up your dirty socks and underwear up off of the floor at night and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons of my fathers (and mothers)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came from a &#8220;clean your plate&#8221; family.  In my mother&#8217;s defense, I do not ever explicitly remember hearing her say &#8220;There are children in Africa who would be grateful for your food&#8230;&#8221;, but I know with utmost certainty that my grandmother did.  In any case the message &#8220;Thou shalt not waste food&#8221; came through [...]]]></description>

		<title>Little boys are always in fashion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When two women show up at a wedding wearing the same thing, it&#8217;s a crisis.
When two little boys show up at a wedding wearing the same thing &#8211; it&#8217;s adorable!
