		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Truthfully, I was not prepared for all of the documented information flung at the audience by Michael Moore&#8217;s new film: &#8220;Capitalism: A Love Story,&#8221; an ironic title, if I ever heard one. 
If one listens to Moore, the only people who love capitalism are those capitalists (= opportunists?) who benefit from their evil acts of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fortune magazine online has published a most interesting article about Michael Moore&#8217;s latest film that is ironically called, &#8220;Capitalism: A Love Story.&#8221;  The 55 year old film director reaches into his own lessons from the past, learned at the feet of the Catholic educational system. He seems to have concluded, in part, that Capitalism [...]]]></description>

Sailing on Narragansett Bay, RI, photo by James Cummings. &#8220;We can&#8217;t change the course of the winds; we can only adjust the sails.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Finding the pot o&#8217; gold at the end of the rainbow is a childhood fantasy as well as a favorite image associated with Irishmen. The Irish would be the first to tell you that the pot o&#8217; gold does not exist. During the potato famine, the starving Irish came to America, through the ports of [...]]]></description>

This past winter, it was a warm haven for the homeless of our community who could be seen snoozing comfortably in some of the chairs. In some instances, the library is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the last issue of Quilter&#8217;s Home magazine was published, it was wrapped in a cellophane bag. Supposedly, the contents were just too &#8220;hot&#8221; for children to accidentally view, while their mothers were busily shopping at JoAnn Fabrics. In fact, that store decided not to carry that particular issue at all, although they have offered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The title of this post originally belonged to a television show in the early 1960s. It was a comedic, if not satirical, look at the previous week&#8217;s events. This essay is a summary that is neither comedic nor satiricial, but just a look at the past week. I feel that my view of the quilt [...]]]></description>

Who knew the details of Vietnam, as it was happening? or Watergate? or the Cuban Missile Crisis? I am sure that I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the most part, the television set has been turned off for the past two days, except for tuning in to watch &#8220;Home Alone,&#8221; a movie that is destined to become a classic. There is something about repetition during the holidays that is comforting. For example, my (late) mother always served orange sherbet topped with [...]]]></description>
