		<description><![CDATA[Another week of feeling disjointed. I left my laptop power supply in the burg so had to use husband&#8217;s windows 7 machine all week. I found it easy to use and I mostly work in the cloud anyway but it wasn&#8217;t my air.  Plus I found myself missing the comfort of my desk and office. [...]]]></description>

Perhaps they bring [...]]]></description>

I think the shock was intensified for me as the week played out because of  the sudden awareness that my liberal beliefs pose such a threat to others.  Oh, I knew Ann Coulter and her tribe made fun [...]]]></description>
