		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve mentioned before, I had a traumatic home ec experience as a preteen, and I haven&#8217;t touched a sewing machine since. In the last year, though, I&#8217;ve found myself wanting to face that fear directly. That&#8217;s why later tonight I&#8217;m heading over to a sewing class, where apparently I will relearn the basics of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gather &#8217;round, children, while I tell you a story about the olden days. Okay, I&#8217;m kidding. I&#8217;m only going to tell you a story from 1990. Which is, to my surprise, 20 years ago (damn, how did that happen?) and therefore almost half my lifetime ago already (I say again, damn, how did that happen?). [...]]]></description>

Pepper taught the band to play&#8230;no, wait, that&#8217;s not right. *sound of backwards tape loop* It was 20 years ago today that the Holyoke (MA) Transcript-Telegram laid off half its newsroom, including me. It was my second post-college job; I was all of 23. I celebrate what I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On an archaeological dig, everything is a feature or a context (and sometimes both). A dark spot that might be a filled-in pit is a feature. The stuff that you dig out of it is a context. Anything from a context gets recorded as coming from that context. So if something gets dug up, kicked [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a widget which, if you click on it, will take you to my new shop on Zazzle. This is a big step for me. It&#8217;s all part of my [...]]]></description>

More importantly, it proves to me that my decision to take my photography more seriously was a good one. I now have objective proof that I&#8217;m good at more than one thing, and that&#8217;s never a [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a bar in the Tenderloin where my friends and I have been meeting for cocktail hours fairly often for several years now. The owners regularly change up the decor; as it turns out, they do it by inviting people they [...]]]></description>

Last week, I met up for coffee with someone who shares that philosophy: the awesome Audi, who writes the blog Fashion for Nerds. I had a hunch we&#8217;d get along, [...]]]></description>

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>
