		<description><![CDATA[Let me state, right off the bat, that I&#8217;m no Lynne Truss. I don&#8217;t roam the land, armed with a magic marker, correcting apostrophes. Not that I haven&#8217;t been tempted, mind. I&#8217;m sure it is no coincidence that a street-wide banner in our town, proclaiming IT&#8217;S A DICKEN&#8217;S OF A CHRISTMAS, fell down during a [...]]]></description>

The First Husband and I watched a DVD of this movie last night. In the interests of accuracy, I should clarify that the version we watched was the UK release, which was called The Boat that Rocked. Not sure why they changed the name for the North American release; either the distributors think we&#8217;re too [...]]]></description>

I have taken my title from a wonderful book by an Irish writer, Michael Farrell, which was released in 1963. It was his one and only book, his master work, which he toiled over for years, never satisfied, even after it had been accepted by a publisher. I read it when I was living in [...]]]></description>

During one of my regular Sunday phone calls, a few years before she died, my mother bemoaned her rapidly fading grasp on reality. “I know I was never very bright,” she laughed, but with a slightly sarcastic edge to her voice. “Still, you’d think the good Lord would see fit to leave me a few [...]]]></description>

In this Oprah video, she is but a ghost of her former self. In fact, Oprah and Edwards&#8217; rat of a husband don&#8217;t even bother to include her in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Ruth Pennebaker, over at The Fabulous Geezersisters, I&#8217;ve become enamoured of the Margaret and Helen blog.
Judging by the hundreds of comments on each post, they seem to be causing quite a stir in the blogosphere. Like Ruth, I strongly suspect this is not really written by two octogenarian ladies who&#8217;ve been pals for [...]]]></description>

 Enough with the Dubya farewell tour. Get him out of there and let the new administration get on with cleaning up the mess he and his Dark Lord, Cheney, have made of the economy, the constitution, and America&#8217;s standing in the world.
