		<title>Starving Kids in Michigan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The National Resources Defense Council says we should make an effort to &#8220;Eat Local.&#8221;  The overall tone of the website aside, I think there&#8217;s some merit to that idea.
When I first came to Japan, I decried the fact that the selection at the grocery store was basically limited to whatever was in season - [...]]]></description>

		<title>The More You Know</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
An interesting signboard I happened upon in the Yusuhara River Valley.  The lifecycle of fireflies.
By the way, &#8220;copulating&#8221; in Japanese is, literally, &#8220;mixing tails.&#8221;  That is all.

		<title>Long Trip, Long Layoff, Long Recovery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have decided to pack my bags and move to Tokyo this spring.  There will be more work and more opportunities there, and it is a better place to figure out what to do with the rest of my life.  There will be one well-trodden road back to Kochi if I choose to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out With the Cold, In With the Brew</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past Christmas and New Year were my first ever in Japan, and they have a chance to be my last.  I had my suspicions about how it would be, but I was never the type of kid to just listen when Mom said, &#8220;the cookie sheet is hot, I just took it out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Same Time is Safe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I flipped open the college course catalog in August 2001, I was looking for Vietnamese.  I wanted to be able to communicate better and understand more of what was going on around me in my hometown, and, perhaps more importantly, I needed units to fill out my first quarter of college.
To my dismay, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mistakes Kill Me</title>

Pete writes:
Question for you regarding pitchers and their ability or non-ability to hit their “spots”. When a pitcher, such as last night when Hughes was pitching to Guerrero and had him looking like a 2nd grader swinging a wet noodle, throws at a 45 foot curveball for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Rocking Chairs to Extinction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a problem with the way we watch baseball games, or perhaps more accurately, with the way baseball games are provided for our eyes and ears to enjoy.  The picture has never been clearer, the camera angles never better, the sound never sharper, and the graphics never more informative, but the taste of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apples and Pears</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now is about the time of year that I am most glad that I live in Kochi.  Everyone in most of the rest of Japan has gotten out their long pants, long-sleeved shirts and jackets, but we&#8217;re sitting pretty down here, looking forward to another month or so of 80-degree days.  Sure, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Customer Responsibility: Epilogue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, a review from Customer Responsibility:
My favorite Italian restaurant in Kochi, Trattoria Felice, folded up at the end of December but ten days after the makeshift forget-the-year party I arranged for my school.
It was run by one Japanese man, Mr. Felice, whose lone waitress was stunningly beautiful and pretended to be very interested in me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Derice Bannock + Derek Zoolander = Bob Sanchez</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cycling wasn&#8217;t a whole lot of fun in the weeks following my first race in June, which I will get arond to writing about at a later date. Every time I hopped on the bike, I felt like I was back in the race; my legs felt like lead and all I could think was [...]]]></description>
