		<description><![CDATA[I came home from vacation with an idea for a mystery novel. Yes, I fear I&#8217;m going to commit fiction. You might ask why someone who writes for a living feels fear at the prospect of writing something. Simple: part of me thinks if I&#8217;m going to spend my precious time on writing, it should [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My ability to survive and thrive in my day-to-day life depends on two brains. One is the approximately three pounds of lumpy grey and white matter between my ears. The other, about 2.5 pounds heavier and also grey and white, is my laptop. They aren&#8217;t a truly redundant system — I haven&#8217;t yet figured out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me set up a hypothetical situation for you. Someone does something really crappy to you. It doesn&#8217;t involve torture, bloodshed, or imminent danger to life or limb &#8212; but it&#8217;s not a minor annoyance, either. Think cheating, stealing, lying to or about you, that kind of thing. To make matters worse, it&#8217;s done by [...]]]></description>

Actually, that&#8217;s not true. I do have an excuse. I was procrastinating. And for the strangest of reasons: I was putting off writing a blog post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, a friend passed her old mountain bike on to me. I was very excited at first. I imagined zipping nimbly around like the people in Amsterdam who commute merrily hither and thither on their beater bikes. I bought padded bike shorts (because I thoroughly approve of any sport for which my own [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was planning to use the new year as an excuse to get more aggressive about my desire to try new things. Then I was felled by the head cold of doom. I managed to struggle through New Year&#8217;s Day and even get out to socialize a few times, but I&#8217;ve basically spent the last [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve noted in the past, I was raised Jewish — though a contradictory flavor of it, to be sure. We kept kosher at home, but not in restaurants. We went to temple on the High Holy Days, but not on weekends. It was made clear to me that I was going to have a [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not a matter of hubris; I don&#8217;t feel like I can solve problems any better than anyone else. It&#8217;s more of a fear-driven compulsion. [...]]]></description>

You can&#8217;t help someone who doesn&#8217;t want to be helped, especially if that person has an &#8220;I hate you, don&#8217;t leave me&#8221; approach to life.
