How can we tell the world about it?” But no, you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have no time for revision.  This post is to help me clarify my own thoughts.  Sorry if it rambles. I was in the kitchen with my mom the other day, drinking coffee and relating a tale of small neighborhood intrigue.  &#8220;There are these two people,&#8221; I said, &#8220;both university faculty in the same department.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I lived in a place where the houses were basically made out of ticky-tacky.  And yes, many of them did all look the same, as the &#8220;city&#8221; really only got popular from the 60&#8242;s on.  My sister even wondered if it was the city that inspired the song. The apartment I lived in technically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of my ideas come from dreams &#8212; at least, the seed of my stories.  Last night, I had another unusual sex dream which might show up in a story. Being a dream, it makes very little sense in reality, but the setup was this:  I was in a conference center, and there was some [...]]]></description>

These days, a &#8220;conspiracy thriller&#8221; would consist of: Hunky or [...]]]></description>

The first class was last night.  I [...]]]></description>

In high school, I got into clowning and Commedia, and I took it pretty seriously.  [...]]]></description>

In my family, storytelling is an everyday part of life.  When I was 5 years old, in 1st grade, my [...]]]></description>

The other day, I was in Borders, getting some emergency coffee, when in comes these two guys.  I smelled them before I saw them; they both reeked of Axe.  If you&#8217;ve ever been in the weightlifting section of the gym, you know what Axe smells like.
