		<description><![CDATA[Hello friends, family, and assorted stalkers. You are all welcome (even the stalkers). This year has been eventful.

		<description><![CDATA[Santa Claus is Coming to Town (SCICTT), the 1934 holiday anthem penned by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie, is a dank and terrifying morass of Western religious child terror, wallowing in the threadbare banality of Orwellian paranoia. The first strains of this well-worn dreadnought of a carol set an appropriately hopeless tone: &#8220;You&#8217;d better [...]]]></description>

Since it&#8217;s a holiday, today I shall do no work. Probably. I did bring home a huge stack of tests that need grading, but I may just ignore them. In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On NPR today, I heard one of those &#8220;personal&#8221; essays (the ones written by presumably everyday-type writers with wildly varying skill at not sounding anesthetized).
