Of course, no one can tell you what she had to do with bonfires, so it seems that the name is just an excuse to keep doing what the pre-Christians wanted to do. I&#8217;ve never—to my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All the news (and blogosphere) seems able to talk about today is the fact that the official number of American soldiers killed in Iraq since we went back to war there has reached 4000.

		<description><![CDATA[I visited my parents this weekend. Although he&#8217;s in a wheelchair whenever he leaves the house, he looks a lot better than the last time I saw him (after the diagnosis). Although that may be attributable to the fact that he&#8217;d just gotten off a plane. After seeing him that time, I had a post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have missed the beginning of Lent, hidden as it was this year, on Super Tuesday (followed by Awesome Wednesday and in 30 or so more days, Good Friday). I have a new friend for whom my respect has grown because he becomes vegan for the whole season (including Sundays). It makes me want to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my husband went to Tibet with his father for his (the father&#8217;s) 60th birthday, they each brought me back a priceless gift.
