		<description><![CDATA[What in the hell, may I ask, is this? Shepherd ’s Pie 10.5 Seasoned ground beef, red skin garlic mashed potatoes and gravy. With Balsamic-tossed greens and green beans.   To some ears, this will sound hopelessly quaint, but since my dining experiences usually consist of greasy spoons and hamburger joints, what the hell is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    3 years. That&#8217;s a long time to not publish anything of note. This, by the way, is no apology for not writing, as so many bloggers are wont to do. I haven&#8217;t written because I haven&#8217;t felt like writing. Oh, I&#8217;ve tinkered with ideas here and there, but it was something akin to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t often read the National Post, but I have to admit there was a feature that caught my eye about a new social class of people: hip-HOPS. As in Hip, Home-Owning Parents. My bullshit detector went off so loud I was incapacitated for several minutes, but once I regained my bearings, I read the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Serving customers today, I had a sudden epiphany that we haven&#8217;t come too far down from the trees, evolutionarily speaking (or God dropped us on our heads at birth, whichever side of the fence you sit on). Let me explain… I had a customer today (for those of you who don&#8217;t know, I work in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the first Survivor appeared on TV, I was cynical. But after I had watched an episode, I had to admit I was hooked. It was a lot more than what network executives thought it would be. Survivor was intended to be a game. What it turned out to be was a fascinating study of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Musical Cell Phone Ringers Cell phones are bad enough. Talk about your utterly pointless status symbols, this one tops them all. But I am resigned to the fact that they are here to stay. But I&#8217;ll be in the fiery black depths of hell before I ever accept somebody&#8217;s cell phone ringing &#8216;Beethoven&#8217;s Fifth&#8217;, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About a month ago was Victoria Day. I’m sure you all had fun, doing whatever it is people do on Victoria Day, which from my observations pretty much involved fueling up your vehicles and heading to the mall. I worked on Victoria Day, and before you go on about retail jobs are the bottom of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Daily life often gives me aneurysms, but I can almost always manage to avoid the flotsam that pollutes the river that is popular culture. But in this particular instance, it&#8217;s nearly impossible. Due to both the popularity of the show Trading Spaces and my current occupation, I&#8217;m stampeded on Saturday afternoons by an army of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does anyone remember the war on terrorism? Oh, I know, that is sooo last year. The wave of the present is this inexplicable showdown with Iraq, in the latest absurd chapter of President Cowboy&#8217;s reign. Actually, it&#8217;s hard to blame Dubya for all of this. He&#8217;s simply doing what he&#8217;s been doing all of his [...]]]></description>
