		<title>iPad Fever!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If anybody loves the iPad as I do and is looking for stylish leather and canvas cases, look no further! Temple Bags is offering a gorgeous couple of cases made from canvas, leather, bits of old suspenders from the 60&#8242;s, and a healthy dose of craftsmanship. This concludes my shameless product fawning for the day.]]></description>

		<title>Well-intentioned but wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my blogroll this morning, I found a blog post on a subject that I think is both complicated and very important: parents who make incorrect medical decisions on behalf of their children, against the advice of their physicians.  I felt the best way to work through my thoughts was to write it up here.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of thorns and groundhogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I walk the grounds of my country estate, I observe the birds and mammals around me. The delightful cardinals, flitting quietly about; the frantic dances of the squirrels, and the less-than-silent nobility of the grackles and robins all remind me of the busy intrusiveness of nature. In the deserts of the American Southwest, where [...]]]></description>

		<title>Personal Refinement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In pursuit of gentlemanly behavior, particularly in writing about it, it&#8217;s easy to get fixated on the fashion and vanity aspect of it. Such is a shame, and it rapidly degrades into vanity: &#8220;Ye gods, did you see how that man was wearing blue jeans with a dress shirt? Surely, no gent be he!&#8221; — [...]]]></description>

		<title>That which has sprung</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After one or two fitful misstarts, spring seems to have finally arrived in sunny New York City!  It&#8217;s time to carefully store away all your thick woolen clothes and break out the Panama hats and dancing shoes.  (I&#8217;m pretty fond of these little numbers from Fluevog, for instance!)  I highly recommend kite flying in Central [...]]]></description>

		<title>Savoir Who?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Style. That&#8217;s what I like. Oh, you can buy class. You can read all the books on what to wear and how to wear it. You can consult your tailor, look at what your boss is wearing, and discard all of your sportswear, but if you have not style, you&#8217;ve gained naught. But! If you&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Single Malt Scottish Bliss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went with a friend to a scotch tasting the other night: a local wine shop offered a discounted rate to my friend&#8217;s coworkers, and I was invited to tag along.  I had a great time!  The tasting was in a cozy room that was all but filled with the table in the center.  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Persuasion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nobody who is interested in those subjects which are based largely on human interaction &#8211; particularly politics, economics, business, science, and religion &#8211; can have failed to notice that we can hardly leave each other alone.  Each person has an opinion, and many feel compelled to persuade others to their line of thought.  This fundamental [...]]]></description>

		<title>This and that</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a few administration notes: If you&#8217;re paying attention, you&#8217;ve probably already seen the fancy new gravatar.com icons that Charles has created.  He&#8217;s got a few more tricks up his sleeve, and the blog&#8217;s appearance will continue to gradually improve under his tending. If you want your own user icon, just sign up for one [...]]]></description>
