		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, Could your vacation ennui be catching? No sooner did you return to the Village than we departed for the in-laws&#39; country club in Florida, where the sun persists in shining and it&#39;s fried shrimp and prime rib on the menu everyday for the rest of your life. Even the landscape has been clipped, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dearest P, I can only confess that hearing you excited about the oldballandchain&#39;s sweaty self is enough to know how deeply disturbing the whole Everglades experience must be for you.&#0160; It seems your entire value system has been set askew.&#0160; Worry not, however, as I want to assure you that returning to the &#39;hood has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, Thank you for your kind words of support and advice on how to deal with the oldballandchain. Must say, your recipe for guerilla warfare does sound devious in the extreme, and may actually require me to transplant myself to Jamaica with the twins immediately, in order to implement stage one of The Plan.

		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, Now that the oldballandchain is about to hit the big 4-0, I&#8217;ve noticed he&#8217;s started huffing and puffing a tad more in the throes of passion (with me, anyway), which is why I felt it incumbent upon me to march him down to the bank this am, to discuss the delights of life [...]]]></description>

That said, it&#8217;s important to consider the lyrics of the old standby: &#34;Nothing from Nothing Means Nothing, and You Gotta Have Something If You&#8217;re Gonna Be With Me.&#34;&#160; In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, It has come to my attention that a kind and thoughtful reader has graciously taken the trouble to describe our musings as &#8216;viciously entertaining&#8217;&#160; &#8211; praise enough to bring tears to this blogger&#8217;s eyes.&#160; Not since the oldballandchain brought our brand new Lexus RX300 home from the hospital &#8211; I mean, car showroom [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[P, I&#8217;m a little troubled by your remarks as I&#8217;ve always thought our correspondence was a private matter.&#160; I am something of a voyeur myself, but what must my family think about me now?&#160; Will it, as I fear, confirm their deepest and darkest fears?&#160; Or worse, they won&#8217;t get me or it at all?

		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, I write to you on a matter of some urgency, concerning a delicate matter of social etiquette. My question for you is this: given the recently elected Pope&#8217;s advanced age (he is 78), and the fact that he has already exceeded the average American male&#8217;s lifespan by four years, do you think now [...]]]></description>
