		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I contacted a couple local businesses about possibly doing work with them. I&#8217;d heard about them through word of mouth &#8212; they were solid, small companies who stood out in some way. I thought, &#8220;Why not?&#8221; and sent off an introduction. Virtually all of them responded to me. None had any immediate work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Friday! Time for the first installment of the ongoing fiction project here at PDS. Kinda like the old adventures of The Lone Ranger on the radio. Only not. Oh, and don&#8217;t expect any polished, finely-tuned verbage. I&#8217;m doing this as a weekly writing exercise&#8211;strictly a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants, making-it-up-as-I-go-along venture. Think of it as a messy [...]]]></description>

But it&#8217;s a great story and I was thinking about it yesterday. First of all, I have the greatest parents. There, I said it. Here&#8217;s one example to back up that mighty statement: When I was around [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, there are a lot of evil step mothers in Disney stories. And in typical Disney fashion, many of the characters are outright orphans. I guess because of the kid audience, they have to both identify with the character (so it&#8217;s a younger character), plus put them in peril (making them tackle the world by [...]]]></description>
