		<description><![CDATA[As an independent contractor, I get asked a lot on how I make a living. The easiest answer is &#8220;I work from home.&#8221; If that doesn&#8217;t satisfy the interviewer, however, I&#8217;ll usually say &#8220;I&#8217;m a writer,&#8221; which is only partly true.
In many ways, I&#8217;m a jack of all trades. Writing and helping others leverage compelling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saying &#8220;I love you&#8221; for the first time is always a crap shoot.
It&#8217;s easier to do when the other one says it first. Difficult to do when you&#8217;re the emotional, head-over-heals, and &#8220;want to lay it on the line&#8221; one like me.
That was the case when I first expressed my love to Lindsey. If I [...]]]></description>

Growing up, my old man would regularly sneak off to his tiny toilet room to get away from his loud wife and six, know-it-all children. It was one of those &#8220;bathroom within a bathroom&#8221; type deals where the toilet [...]]]></description>

I recently sampled a book in which the author said such-and-such was the &#8220;second most enchanting thing&#8221; he&#8217;d ever seen, save only seeing his wife for the first time. The line made me reflect upon the first time I met my wife:
In a hot tub. 
Kind of skanky, I know. In any case, I certainly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The Reach Total Care + Whitening. Seriously, this thing is my version of the Ora-Dent for the following reasons:

Unlike most plastic bristles, these babies don&#8217;t just slide across your rocks, they actually have grip and texture, which help remove build-up. After using this brush, your teeth feel as though the&#8217;ve just been polished by a dental hygienist. [...]]]></description>

I wish I could have seen my Dad play basketball.
My uncle tells me he was a phenomenal shooter, regularly putting up 30+ points a night against amateur competition. My old man reputedly scored 50 points in a single half of intramural college ball once (!).
More impressive from a precision standpoint, he shot 50 consecutive free [...]]]></description>

Had my deodorant confiscated by the TSA
Ran the Charles River
Saw the Facebook movie (it&#8217;s really good, five stars me thinks)
People watched in Boston Common
Saw the Red Sox lose to the Yankees in the 10th inning
Drove to New Hampshire; bought cider donuts at an apple farm; saw the leaves turn; bought overpriced Bavarian chocolate
Ate a killer [...]]]></description>
