		<title>Tales Of The Snowpocalypse: How We All Just Try To Get Along And Get Through It&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m walking home from work&#8230;my first working day after last week&#8217;s torrential snow storms.  The neighborhood looks mostly like this&#8230;

A lot of painstakingly shoveled out parking spots sprinkled between friggin&#8217; huge piles where the snow got shoveled into.  You can appreciate that people are a tad defensive of the spots they&#8217;ve cleared out.
So anyway&#8230;I&#8217;m walking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Adios&#8230;Valentine&#8217;s Day 2010!   It was a blast.  Really.  But we&#8217;ve both changed.   We need some distance.  It&#8217;s not you, it&#8217;s me.  Let&#8217;s always stay friends.

		<title>The Third Annual Casa del Garrett Valentine’s Day Poster Contest…(Part 3!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well it&#8217;s almost time to wrap up this year&#8217;s contest!  And I have to say, this year&#8217;s batch of embarrassingly sincere losers was the best ever.  A sentiment that probably makes our year one and year two losers feel even more left in the dust.  Every Valentine&#8217;s Day is a little more special then the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Third Annual Casa del Garrett Valentine’s Day Poster Contest…(Part 2!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another batch of worthy hopefuls whose dream of winning the big prize were torn to bits by cruel reality.  What would Valentine&#8217;s Day be without that?  Lots and lots of it in fact&#8230;








We have a couple more worthy contestants to keep twisting slowly, slowly in the wind a little while longer.   But isn&#8217;t that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Third Annual Casa del Garrett Valentine’s Day Poster Contest…(Part 1!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well right off the bat we have four very worthy entries for our contest!  These entries would have easily won top honors hadn&#8217;t there been others that completely dashed their hopes of glory and left them mere broken shells of their former selves.  But isn&#8217;t that what Valentine&#8217;s Day is all about?
Let&#8217;s all give these [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Third Annual Casa del Garrett Valentine’s Day Poster Contest…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was seriously considering skipping this year&#8217;s contest, on the basis that unfulfilled expectations are part of the fun too.  Then a friend sent this extremely helpful link along&#8230;
What would Valentine’s Day be without an opportunity to mention the three-letter word that gets everyone so riled up? Yes, you guessed it–I’m talking about at a [...]]]></description>

What Lord’s Work?
Willa Sibert Cather said “There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before.” So I’m reading a story in Today’s Deutsche Welle which, after another round of Vatican pronouncements on how defending [...]]]></description>

Then they sold out the liberals and we said nothing because we weren&#8217;t liberals.  Then they sold out the progressives and we said nothing because we were moderates.  Then they sold out the moderates and we said nothing because we were [...]]]></description>

“Against The Public Policy Of The State”
Here in my home state of Maryland, state delegate Emmett Burns Jr. (D – Baltimore County), known among activists here as a reliable opponent of equality for gay citizens, went on the offensive right out of the gate this year.  The legislative session had hardly [...]]]></description>

My collection of Republic Serials I Used To Raptly Watch On Saturday Mornings is almost complete now.
