		<description><![CDATA[I used to see a lot of interesting things when I lived in West Hollywood.  But when you mix creatives with gays, you are bound to see some great stuff.  In Santa Barbara, when you mix stray hairs with a good sunrise, you get the perfect plucking storm.  And then some. My &#8220;it&#8217;s going to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a date Saturday night who accessorized.  I don&#8217;t mean in the belt, cuff links, and shoes kind of way either.  He wore a turquoise bead choker necklace that kind of looked like those candy necklaces I&#8217;d get as a kid, except the &#8220;candy&#8221; was blue.  But that&#8217;s not all.  There&#8217;s more.  He doubled [...]]]></description>

A year before I could get my learner&#8217;s permit, my dad would take me to the Montgomery Wards parking lot to practice driving.  It gave him an [...]]]></description>

When I look at memorials online, they are too stodgy and don&#8217;t fit the personality of Kramer or Tex.  My idea has always been a small picture frame with a little test tube of ashes glued on.  Much better than a small pine box with dates on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The challenge with any rescue dog is not knowing its history.  With Dixie, I&#8217;ve taken it very slowly and carefully and continue to learn what she likes and dislikes. Men are on a case-by-case basis.  She&#8217;s size and race agnostic, but if a man has a hat, goatee, and/or sunglasses, the low volume growl begins. [...]]]></description>

After a year of long hours, my office was cheering me on, handing me condoms, and hoping I would get drunk and laid. The [...]]]></description>
