		<description><![CDATA[Like it or not, the &#8220;hippies&#8221; of the &#8220;me&#8221; generation are aging. With our middle-aged looks and our graying hair, we have a certain common cultural literacy that is lost on people who are younger. Case in point, the other day, I mentioned the &#8220;Black pill&#8221; to a doctor who is very new to the [...]]]></description>

Today, the &#8220;Day of the Dead&#8221; ceremonies encompass both Aztec rituals and thoughts, and those of Roman Catholicism. Once a month long festival, now just two days are set aside, presided over by Mictecacihuatl, &#8220;the Lady [...]]]></description>
