		<title>Holidaze</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, we are now in the Christmas season and there is too much to do before my sister arrives this Friday!  I&#8217;ve been working on cleaning and decorating the living room since 10 this morning and I&#8217;m still not done.

		<title>November clouds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is the fifth anniversary of my younger brother&#8217;s death. Marty was sometimes a joy and sometimes a pain in the butt, but he was almost always cheerful.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been back from my trip to Madison for a little over a week and after having visited with close and loving friends I can only tell them all that my life without them is sometimes sad.

There&#8217;s the sky lite to repair and the bathroom ceiling to re drywall and the yard to clean and the garage to straigthen&#8230;etc. In my defense, the weather has been brutal.

		<title>KILL BILL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Without a doubt one of the strangest, coolist, improbable movies of the new millenium.  Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman), a very experienced born killer, annihilates everyone in her path to get back at Bill (David Carradine) who as he says&#8230;overreacts&#8230; to finding she&#8217;s going to marry someone else.  They have unfinished business and she [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, the second Sunday in May and it&#8217;s officially the day we honor our mothers.  I purchased a card and a couple of mini-roses I&#8217;m going to plant in the front yard as soon as some new top soil is delivered on Tuesday.  Lots of gardening tasks scheduled for this week.

History is going to made today at the Derby, though I&#8217;m still sad about the death of Barbero. Last year, mom and I watched the race and just before it I looked up Ruffian, a beautiful filly who had won the Triple Tiara. She was known as the Queen of the Fillies and [...]]]></description>
