		<title>Thoughts On The Toilet Tissue Issue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently at Christmas I overheard three of my nephews griping about the toilet paper in their college dorms. Their chief complaint was their school&#8217;s cheap tissue is too chafing. (This is not a subject you would normally bring up at Christmas or in mixed company, but they are, after all, boys in college. And to [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Love Will Come Around&#8221; Wins A Posi Award</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My song Love Will Come Around (co-written with Lance Cowan) was awarded the &#8220;Obelisk of Love&#8221; in the category of Personal Transformation (or as I call it, Perpetual Confusion) at the EmPower Posi Music Awards in Orlando Sunday night, January 15.

		<title>Mitt Romney On Vacation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the always amusing NY Times columnist Gail Collins has pointed out with impressive regularity, Mitt Romney once drove his family to Canada for vacation with the family dog strapped to the roof of the car. This is such a bizarre visual (he&#8217;s a presidential candidate!) that my friend Bob Kroeker, attorney and cartoonist, felt [...]]]></description>

		<title>Common Side Effects Include (song)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all know (hopefully) that humor is an antidote to the seriousness of life. Sometimes we forget it can also be a shock absorber for the occasionally rocky road of romance. Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke. (Lynda Barry) Perhaps you&#8217;ve experienced the hormone cocktail we call &#8220;falling in love.&#8221; The feeling is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best Break Up Line?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all have our &#8220;I got unceremoniously dumped&#8221; stories, and sometimes there&#8217;s more than a modicum of pain involved. Occasionally however, especially if it&#8217;s been a short-term thing, it not only doesn&#8217;t hurt too much, it can be kind of funny. As the writer Linda Barry said, &#8220;Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Unofficial Ranking: France vs The U.S.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend&#8217;s wedding this week has lured me to Paris, France, the City of Light. Also the city of pastry, wine, espresso, chocolate, foie gras, rich sauces, and a bunch of other stuff that will kill you in America but is somehow magically good for you in France. I find myself consuming it in quantities [...]]]></description>

		<title>Air Conditioning Is For Wimps Like Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s now officially the &#8220;Summer of Swelter&#8221; here in the midwest. We&#8217;ve been offering up our body fluids in 100+ degree temperatures for days &#8211; in some places, weeks &#8211; at a time. Global Warming now seems an inadequate term. It feels more like Global Melting. And it&#8217;s not that dry heat* like in Arizona. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Real Reason The Chinese Will Take Over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forget all that stuff about trade deficits, unfair currency valuation, and cheap labor. The real reason the Chinese will take over the world is much more fundamental. In fact, it&#8217;s genetic. Several thousand years ago, while the rest of the world was still figuring out how to combine nuts and berries into a decent trail [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Song: &#8220;How &#8216;Bout That Game&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to let you know right up front, the idea for this tune comes from the lovely and talented Lisa Firestone.  (More about her in a minute*)  It&#8217;s one of those clever song ideas that made me laugh, then grabbed me by the brain and wouldn&#8217;t let go. It&#8217;s called How &#8216;Bout That Game, [...]]]></description>
