		<description><![CDATA[As the cranky old lady of the internet, social networking can be annoying.  Probably because I&#8217;ve done BBS.  I&#8217;ve played in chat rooms.  I&#8217;ve created avatars and connected with people in communities with full voice duplexing and text.  I&#8217;ve built web pages without a CMS.  But as I&#8217;ve said before, I&#8217;ve gotta stay hip with [...]]]></description>

He makes me smile every day.  I wanted to return the favor and throw a party for his 12th birthday. Getting people to West [...]]]></description>

It was a long courtship of walks, parks, car rides, and movies on the couch.  He waited to sleep with me for six months.  Then one day when I came home on crutches [...]]]></description>

It really called into question if I had to buy a turkey or if I could get away with making turkey burgers. I haven’t made [...]]]></description>

We’ve been together a little more than a year and April Fool’s Day is his designated 11th birthday since it’s easy to remember and it reminds [...]]]></description>

Women who have joined my no-mother cult have experienced similar exhilaration and relief after radio silence. However, we all have our sound bites to dodge the mainstream how’s-your-family questions. Several days ago, I connected with a match.com guy who seemed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think Freud, Jung, Dr. Phil, Dr. Spock, and Judge Judy would all agree we learn through example. I’m starting to feel like I could probably never parent except remotely while wearing an orange jumpsuit making a call from the yard. My “example” was a walnut-stained, one-inch piece of plywood with a leather hang cord. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a vacation ritual where I pack my almost-expired condoms with hopes they are deployed. My trip to Hawaii was extra special because I was going with my 71 year-old namesake. The Marna(s) were on a mission to meet the perfect Uncle/Nephew combo. We had seven condoms for the week. I wasn’t sure if [...]]]></description>
