		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I just have to sit back and laugh at myself.
I mean it. I can seriously laugh at so many aspects of my life. From my looks and my goofy skate style to so many other things I do. Like when I stay up until the wee hours when I know I have a long [...]]]></description>

It is January as I write this. Presently, Florida is suffering the longest cold snap ever. Usually, a cold snap is just that: a quick chill. Not so, this winter of 2010. I have counted six mornings now with readings in the 20s and 30s, with more on the way. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh Dear A seven-point buck was found dead in Viroqua, WI, in November, apparently after losing a head-butting contest with a cement-statue buck. Ramming contests are common during mating season, and the cement buck was about the same size as the dead one (but weighs about three times as much).

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Romeo,
Like many of your correspondents in the past, I&#8217;d like to use your column as a forum for a problem I feel has gone unaddressed for far too long in this area: mixed race relationships. My girlfriend, who I&#8217;ll call &#8220;Julie,&#8221; is a fantastically attractive and highly successful African- American woman and I&#8217;m a [...]]]></description>

Many years ago I read the great biographical work &#8220;Murrow: His Life and Times,&#8221; by A. M. Sperber. Since that time I have owned six copies &#8212; each had to be replaced because I kept giving them to journalism majors.

Where was I when we ended last month? I do remember that I got a screaming headache taking about French wines. I hope to get through all of it in this issue so we can cover something more pleasant. French wines are spectacular, but the attitude? Not so [...]]]></description>

About 110, 000 years ago, a series of volcanic eruptions created a massive lava dome known today as Mammoth Mountain.

It&#8217;s not the difficulty of getting my hands on all the extra chairs so much as the astronomical cost of putting on the shindig. I&#8217;m trying to cut corners wherever I can, but I stand firmly [...]]]></description>

Reveries
Nonesuch, 2003
Often described as Italy&#8217;s answer to Tom Waits, Paolo Conte, while similarly eccentric and oddly charismatic, bears nothing more than a passing tonal resemblance to the gruff bohemian icon. Conte&#8217;s weathered voice supplies plenty of broody mood, but his real charm lies in the way he can shift from style to style &#8212; [...]]]></description>

Nancy Kelly’s vocal style is a study in phrasing, style and swing. She’s both old school and new. She’s experienced, yet her delivery and ideas are fresh. She can take a song and turn it up or down, and leave you believing that it was meant to be exactly that way. It takes great [...]]]></description>

&#8220;It&#8221; could be the tight rhythm section, the booming bass, the unique, punky-dub guitars, or the reggae-infused songs noted for their smooth vocals and catchy melodies, but the four-piece have an ability to turn any crowd of boring sitters into dancing fans.

Strange Dogs
CBJS; 2009
&#8220;Easy Listening,&#8221; within the parlance of music criticism, is usually invoked with snobbish derision and aimed at the unchallenging, watered-down compositions of John Tesh or Yanni. It has however become a legitimate genre unto itself, one in which several honest musicians have flourished. Local singer/songwriter and guitarist Ben Wilson isn&#8217;t one of [...]]]></description>
