		<description><![CDATA[We all have our secrets.
We have all done stupid things, here and there, now and then, but most of us do so from the comfort of obscurity and even if we have been so unfortunate as to make the local newspaper, the public&#8217;s eye usually loses interest quickly and moves on. We are generally free [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time I was a project engineer, and at times the places my projects took me to were not the garden spots of the world. In that profession your focus tends to be, &#8216;get it built, get it working, get out.&#8217; What I remember most about those times is that every time I [...]]]></description>

Aside from the dubious morality of supporting a game which measurably detracts from both the quality of life and the life expectancy of those who participate in it, I am [...]]]></description>

It is an amazing device, which I am sure I am one of the last people on the planet to find out. And it will pay for itself eventually, if only because I no longer [...]]]></description>

My agent read the latest draft of my current writing project, which is a YA novel I&#8217;m calling &#8216;Benbow Street Shakedown.&#8217; I am pretty happy with it as it is, or I wouldn&#8217;t have sent it to him. &#8216;I like it,&#8217; he says. &#8216;Great characters. But&#8230;&#8217;

I sit at the ship&#8217;s rail, right at the point where the hull of this iron beast achieves her maximum width. It is right here where the waves are shouldered aside, thrown back to allow [...]]]></description>

It was a ditch inside a hole in the ground, intended [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perfectionism is a flaw, not an asset. You hear people apply the term to themselves from time to time, &#8216;Oh, I&#8217;m a perfectionist.&#8217; What they are saying, really, could be more precisely as &#8216;I do better work than you,&#8217; or &#8216;I&#8217;m an artiste, you are a schlub.&#8217; If you are a perfectionist, you might just [...]]]></description>
