		<title>Canada curling, my brief fandom thereof</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Recently I&#8217;ve been listening to Slate&#8217;s really good sports podcast, &#8220;Hang Up and Listen.&#8221;  I came to it because I&#8217;ve liked Stefan Fatsis on NPR and in print (Word Freak and A Few Seconds of Panic are both terrific books.)
They&#8217;ve done a couple of nice segments on the Winter Olympics and one of them (I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alone in a downtown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pre-entry note:  I&#8217;ve been thinking some lately about this blog and how much I was engaged with it during the last Winter Olympics.  It was a different time in my life, to be sure.  Four years seems both quickly gone and very recent.  I&#8217;m not going to feel badly that the blog has lain fallow.  [...]]]></description>

I might call him Wolf, with the German &#8220;v&#8221; sound.

		<title>Golf balls, National Parks, Memory, and the Newspaper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I grew up in a newspaper reading family.  Even as a child, I liked reading the newspaper.  We got the afternoon paper most of my childhood and then switched to the morning paper when I was a teenager.  Let&#8217;s pause for a moment and think about that.  Morning paper.  Afternoon paper.
Yep.
I grew up in Atlanta [...]]]></description>

		<title>Serial carogamous</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Am I obsessed with justifying this decision?&#8221;  I asked Teresa.
&#8220;Every human want to justify her decisions.  It&#8217;s what makes us human,&#8221; was her reply.
I had noted that I would be glad not to have to worry about the size of open parking places in the really impacted Whole Foods parking lot.  This was after saying [...]]]></description>

		<title>License to Carbonate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The name is Sporks, the license is Alco2jet 220579.  That is all I can say or I might have to kill you.

Or not.  But that is my license number.  I&#8217;m a licensed carbonator.  Yeppers.
A week or so ago, Teresa sent me a link to a product I didn&#8217;t know existed.
The SodaStream Fountain Jet.
Behold:

I&#8217;ve always had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shoe Musings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday I rode my scooter to work.

That&#8217;s not me on Friday, but I know people like visuals.  It is me, and it is my scooter, it&#8217;s just not Friday.
Anyway, I had on &#8220;nice&#8221; jeans, a white shirt, and boots.  It was Friday, I had no meetings, it&#8217;s summer.  I looked fine (for me).
These were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where have you gone baseball?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was growing up, baseball (and a few other sports) was something my family could do together.  It wasn&#8217;t a perfect context by any means.  But, we could usually watch the Braves and be ok for a few hours.
I&#8217;ve always held onto baseball.  I lived in DC pre-Nationals, so I didn&#8217;t adopt a second [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Bean in the Seat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was little, my parents had a succession of cars with which they were largely unsatisfied.  There was much lamentation about the sold VW Beetle&#8211;replaced by the unsatisfying AMC Rambler.  They replaced the Beetle because I was born.  The purchase of the Rambler was my fault.  So was the collapse of AMC.  You heard [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two wheels (motorized division)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who have read and still read my homages to randomness, you know that occasionally I lapse into discussion of bicycles.  I am aware that no one but me wants to read these lapses.  Yet I persist.  It&#8217;s a little like my current occasional behavior of defying the Garmin Nüvi.  I just [...]]]></description>
