		<title>Alice in Shutter Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Monday, I went with my friend, Will, to see &#8220;Alice in Wonderland&#8221; in 3D at the Metreon.  He was seeking a break from moving, and I hadn&#8217;t been to a movie in quite a while, so relished the opportunity to see it.  Plus, I usually like Tim Burton movies.
As expected, the landscape was surreal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Five for Fighting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And what a delicious battle they wage, this new brand of Haagen Dazs ice cream named Five.  It&#8217;s just five simple ingredient: milk, cream, sugar, eggs, [flavor].  In the case of the two flavors I bought yesterday, ginger and lemon.  I think my mouth died and went to heaven.  A scoop of lemon and a [...]]]></description>

Green eyes
stare at me
through
the rising steam
of morning  coffee
why so early?
they seem to ask
it&#8217;s cold outside
and the bed&#8217;s  still warm
We retreat
To snuggling
and let the coffee steam
Dissipate

The house overlooks the eastern side of the hills, into Tilden Park, and [...]]]></description>

So, Nicholas closed the shop early on New Year&#8217;s Eve, much to the chagrin of the owners, but there was no one else to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thank You, Olin, For Bringing Me Nicholas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was that soldier I had written about before.  Well, in early November, Olin came to San Francisco and we met, spending about an hour together.  There were no real sparks between us, and although we had agreed to meet later that evening at the Lone Star Saloon,  I had the feeling that he wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
