		<description><![CDATA[I am my mother’s daughter, all bits and pieces, bone and fragment, fingertip and nail, although she is left-handed.   I am my mother’s daughter, symmetrical, clean, dainty and yet hardened, aloof and never without the answer, although she is much better at crossword puzzles than I.  Sometimes I think she knows more words than the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Personal responsibility, like soccer and Nutella, isn’t really something that interests us Americans.  Blaming others for our problems, on the other hand, is something we have really taken a liking to.   When president Obama and his ever-popular promises of change took office, many thought that all of their problems would be solved—if only they voted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I write this, my maternal grandmother is somewhere between nearly-dead and very-nearly-dead.
My grandmother’s death won’t be a tragedy.  She has lived for 89 mostly-good years and is not dying suddenly of stomach cancer or leukemia or because of an attack by flesh-eating bacteria.  She’s dying because she is old.  Her heart hasn’t worked well [...]]]></description>
