		<title>In which we replace &#8220;abnormal&#8221; with &#8220;extraordinary&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the years I&#8217;ve read and listened to my fair share of material about &#8220;calling.&#8221;  The late James Hillman&#8217;s The Soul&#8217;s Code: In Search of Character and Calling is the only book I&#8217;ve ever read that has helped me making sense of  it (Hillman was a famous Jungian analyst and died a few weeks ago).

		<title>30 Day Song Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did the 30 Day Song Challenge on Facebook the past 30 days and thought I&#8217;d post them all in one post here. It was a fun challenge, but I now feel like taking a 30 day break from Facebook. Here&#8217;s the list: Day 1 &#8211; &#8220;Your favorite song.&#8221; The 1st movement of the Elgar [...]]]></description>

		<title>La-Di-Frickin-Da</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time to bring back the La-Di-Frickin-Da. Below is a ten second clip of the late comedian Chris Farley saying &#8220;La-Di-Frickin-Da&#8221; in his inimitable way while performing as the Matt Foley character on Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s: Image of Well La-Di-Freakin-Da! It would be fun to put that as my voice mail [...]]]></description>

		<title>The cure for loneliness is solitude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While flipping through my notebook the other day I came across the notes I took last March in St. Paul, MN at the workshop with James Hollis, PhD, Jungian analyst. Below are the notes from one of the pages and I couldn&#8217;t help but think how each sentence could be a book or workshop topic [...]]]></description>

		<title>In which we take a dandelion break and remember the 1980s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 1980s was a bipolar decade for me, as I attended high school (the worst of times) and college (the best of times) in the 1980s. I recently discovered the newly-released five volume set of Bloom County: The Complete Collection and checked out a few volumes from the library. The Bloom County comic strip originally ran from [...]]]></description>

		<title>A tour of the taverns, praise temples, and double-wide trailers of the white working poor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re ready for a tour of the &#8220;great beery, NASCAR loving, church-going, gun-owning America that has never set foot in a Starbucks,&#8221; and learn why they tend to vote for rich Republicans, then I urge you to read Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America&#8217;s Class War by Joe Bageant. Even if you&#8217;re not [...]]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s a party in your heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I discovered Death Cab For Cutie&#8217;s new song You Are A Tourist this morning and have been listening to it repeatedly while working on a writing project. When I first heard the line, &#8220;there&#8217;s a burning in your heart,&#8221; I thought it was, &#8220;there&#8217;s a party in your heart.&#8221; Our parakeet Shirley sings wildly while [...]]]></description>

		<title>The pit crew of wounded healers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What do physicians have in common with NASCAR racers? What are the 3 essential skills today&#8217;s doctors need that don&#8217;t have anything to do with medicine? Read this from the New Yorker and find out. Why is the Republican party no longer a comfortable fit for many doctors? Why do many doctors now support health insurance [...]]]></description>

		<title>In which The Who&#8217;s &#8216;Who Are You&#8217; lyrics come to mind (yep, I&#8217;m reading more Susan Howatch)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We know so little about even those who are closest to us. We know so litle of what really goes on in other people&#8217;s lives.&#8221; &#8211; Ginerva in Wheel of Fortune by Susan Howatch I went on the other day about Susan Howatch&#8217;s Starbridge series of novels, but should also mention that she wrote many [...]]]></description>

		<title>Being read by Susan Howatch novels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The best books are the ones that read you more than you read them. That is how I feel about the English novelist Susan Howatch&#8217;s novels, particularly her Starbridge series (here&#8217;s a chronological list of her Starbridge series that I posted on Amazon several years ago). It is also why I&#8217;ve read through the series three [...]]]></description>
