		<description><![CDATA[Big news! Someone has now invented a robot that can solve the Rubik&#8217;s Cube.  Before you get too impressed by that, you should know that in 7th grade, I could solve the Cube in under a minute. Before you get too impressed by that, you should also know that I cheated. I bought a book...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Check out the guy in the picture. He&#8217;s an idiot. Not for wearing a silly hat. But for gluing it to his head. With superglue. He had to go to an emergency room (one with pointless dolphins painted on the wall) to have it removed. I&#8217;m sure everyone asked the guy, &#8220;What were you thinking?&#8221; And...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I found this video on Huffington Post, where the poster wonders if it&#8217;s a depressing sign of the demise of children&#8217;s publishing. I&#8217;ll say no. I think it&#8217;s a sign that just as always, you have to know your audience when you give a kid books as presents. Kids fall into three categories that I...]]></description>

I&#8217;m safely inside for the evening and have no reason to cross sixth avenue. The biggest mistake if you live in my neighborhood is to make plans that involve...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my last post, I wrote about a dorky hat I wore in 6th grade, and its special water-carrying properties.  I thought it was pretty cool that if a bunch of us were stranded at a campground, I could save the whole gang from dehydration by trekking to a lake or spring and hauling back...]]></description>

It&#8217;s a time of reinvention, when you start over with a clean slate, and make all kinds of outlandish promises about the &#8220;new you.&#8221; You get to shop for new school supplies &#8212; pristine binders, with folders that haven&#8217;t yet been...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shiloh Jolie Pitt is stealing my look. It&#8217;s true. Normally, we average people latch on to celebrity styles. But this &#8220;celeb tot,&#8221; as the magazines call them, is clearly following mine. Shiloh is Brad and Angelina&#8217;s daughter, but, like I did at that age, she looks more like a son. Poor kid gets so much...]]></description>

They were the cornerstone of my education in Things Not To Do, like drugs, drinking, drinking and driving, bingeing and puking, killing yourself, and getting molested by the nice man who owns the bicycle shop. (Poor Dudley.*) Those TV shows served...]]></description>
