		<description><![CDATA[When I was getting my coffee at the shop on the corner, I heard someone say, &#8220;I learned a lot in the last year.&#8221; She had a baby in a stroller who looked to be about a year old, so yeah, I bet she did learn a lot in the last year. Everyone says you...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When did I turn into a chip person? You know, someone who keeps chips in the house. I never used to do that. I&#8217;d eat chips at a party, but I wouldn&#8217;t go buy them at the store. They&#8217;re junk food, and go against my college-girl-on-a-diet training, which is: pretzels and rice cakes only.

		<description><![CDATA[Halloween is almost here! Does that excite me? No, it scares me. Here&#8217;s why: The parade. There&#8217;s extra adrenaline in the air on Halloween. People are buzzed on candy and sexual possibilities. People like that, in a crowd, are trampling and suffocation waiting to happen. My fear of getting crushed to death gets a spooky...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I&#8217;ve used Apple computers since 1982.* Before my family got one, my computer experience was limited to the one at school. It was at a desk in the center area, and we&#8217;d all wait for our turn to sit and use it.  It had glowing green type on a dark greenish screen, and the...]]></description>

I always regret telling people the actual day I&#8217;m coming back, rather than lying and giving myself a few extra days to pretend I&#8217;m not here. But I once had a boyfriend who did that, and he was...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For months after September 11th, strangers in New York talked to each other. If you were in a restaurant or a doctor&#8217;s waiting room or on the subway, you&#8217;d inevitably overhear someone talking about the attack. And you&#8217;d join in. You&#8217;d ask where they were that day, and tell them where you were. The people...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just threw out half an apple cake. I should probably do the same with the unopened pretzel m&#38;ms.  Too late for the Baked Lays, the Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips, and both pints of Haagen Dazs. Oh, there&#8217;s also the nub of a blondie from the Korean deli. I could toss that. I normally...]]></description>

Which brings me to another favorite expression of his: &#8220;Would it be possible for you to make an exception?&#8221; The lesson I...]]></description>

Except it&#8217;s a brainworm. And instead of eating my brain, it feeds my brain, with stupid ideas I know are wrong but somehow still think are true. Does...]]></description>

We want a real kitchen, a second bathroom, and a second bedroom for my office. (For some reason, Steven doesn&#8217;t love having my piles of papers and DVDs in the...]]></description>
