		<description><![CDATA[This one&#8217;s gonna ramble, so get ready.
Back in ye olden days, when the World Wide Web was a twinkle in Tim Berners-Lee&#8217;s eye and pteranodons ruled the skies, I got into computers in a big way.  I didn&#8217;t just dive into the digital revolution, I cannonballed into it.  I played Flight Simulator when [...]]]></description>

Therefore I have been bombarded with a nonstop television diet of the Disney Channel.  Thank God school starts tomorrow and I get to reclaim what torn, wretched scraps of my sanity as remain.

		<description><![CDATA[Prologue
(Cool!  Finally, I get a legitimate excuse to write a prologue!)
Looking back across the gulf of three decades, even the most vivid memories get wobbly, like a stretch of distant highway on a hot summer day.  We&#8217;re usually unaware of it because the other people involved long ago went their own way, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve said it before; I&#8217;ll say it again: what is it with Florida?
Friday morning a man and woman were involved in a motorcycle crash in Jacksonville.  Naked.  Both are expected to recover everything but their dignity.
Normally, this is where I begin heaping scorn on the miscreants, but actually I&#8217;m filled with dumbstruck admiration. [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t have any solid memories of what I did, but I know precisely where I was: in Mrs. R&#8217;s art class at Alamo Heights Junior High School in San Antonio, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A little over a year ago I was doing some research on the Disney masterpiece &#8220;Pinnochio,&#8221; and stumbled across a recording of Jiminy Cricket singing a filthy song.  The discovery delighted me no end.
Tonight I was looking for a recording of &#8220;Ghost Riders in the Sky&#8221; for a project I&#8217;m planning, when I found [...]]]></description>

About ten years ago some evil puppy-killing hellspawn realized that it&#8217;s less expensive to fill a burrito with rice instead of filling it with actual burrito ingredients, and then everybody else started doing it.  [...]]]></description>
