		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve had some changes around here lately.  A big storm came through a couple of weeks ago and took off another chunk of our tree, so we had to give up and have it removed.  It was very sad; that tree was really well-placed and looked great, and the garden looks much poorer for its [...]]]></description>

I responded: Well, she died in the bathroom, so that&#8217;s where she haunts now. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working on a project for this year&#8217;s Interactive Fiction Competition (IFComp 2010).  It&#8217;s one that I started as kind of a small palate-cleanser after last year&#8217;s Comp, intended to be a quickie adventure for my son.  As I worked through the idea and setting, however, I realized that there was more there than I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After too long, Lawrence Watt-Evans is spinning up a new Ethshar serial &#8212; The Final Calling.  His Ethshar novels are excellent light fantasy, and are notable for having both a great amount of interesting, powerful magic as well as very believable, human characters that for the most part treat magic as just another phenomenon to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the recent releases of both the in-browser Glulx interpreter Quixe, and the newest Inform 7 Build 6E72, it was pretty obvious that I&#8217;d have to upgrade.  Sure, theoretically it would be possible to stick with the last version of Inform and manually roll out a playable website for my WIP.  But why turn down [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On our last day of our 4th of July staycation, the whole extended family went out to McDonald&#8217;s for breakfast.  We chose this for two reasons: We&#8217;d eaten all the eggs and didn&#8217;t have anything prepared for that morning, and It had been raining constantly for the last 24 hours and we wanted to get [...]]]></description>

So I&#8217;m going to upgrade immediately after posting this! With luck, you won&#8217;t notice any differences. I&#8217;ll edit this post with my impressions of the new upgrade&#8230; &#8230; and yeah, no visible differences in [...]]]></description>

At the swim meet, he demonstrated improved form in his freestyle, breathing [...]]]></description>
