		<title>The Bumpy Road to Independence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although, living in Chicago, the road is full of potholes, rather than bumps.  Things are looking up, although my therapist has emphasized the need to be careful and progress at a reasonable pace.  Regular readers know that I have a pattern of taking on more than I can handle once I start feeling [...]]]></description>

		<title>Star Wars:  Death Troopers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
by Joe Schreiber
Whenever a new SW book comes out, of course I&#8217;m going to buy it and read it, but when it&#8217;s written by a first-time SW author, I&#8217;m always hesitant.  Death Troopers is Joe Schreiber&#8217;s first.  It starts out great with a nice pace then quickly deteriorates into a story that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday Cat Blogging No. 81 &#8211; Never in a Million Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;did I ever expect to see Hopper (bottom) and Angelo (top) not only lying next to each other, but touching!  These 2 never liked each other.  The problem is that they&#8217;re both alpha cats.  After Angelo lived with us a few weeks and we let him explore outside the bedroom, Hopper stopped [...]]]></description>

		<title>Opening the Blinds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My last pdoc appointment was 2 weeks ago.  Thankfully, he didn&#8217;t mention ECT; instead, he put me on Pristiq, which he described as something like a purer form of Effexor though I&#8217;m not entirely sure what he meant.  Effexor has worked really well for me in the past, so we decided to give [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bringing Down the House:  The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
by Ben Mezrich
The title sums up the entire story, other than the how.  Don&#8217;t worry &#8212; this is definitely covered.  Unfortunately, and ironically, the story isn&#8217;t as well-told as the movie, 21, which it inspired.  It&#8217;s a quick read so it isn&#8217;t a huge waste of time, but the way the [...]]]></description>

		<title>RedSAM:  Shutting It Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I stopped using EMSAM last Thursday.  As you can see in this picture (click image to enlarge), it leaves a reddish spot in the area where I use it &#8212; and I alternate right and left every day.  Not only that, the &#8220;itchies&#8221; (hives/welts) I sometimes get from stress increased tremendously when I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday Cat Blogging No. 79 &#8211; Hide and Seek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[featuring Hee Seop
Somebody has to go to the vet tomorrow!  Nothing serious, just his annual check-up, rabies shots, etc.  Hee Seop still tries to hide under things, even though there aren&#8217;t many places for him to hide anymore.  We got rid of our old box spring in which he tore a hole [...]]]></description>

		<title>Work, EMSAM, Work!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past half hour I&#8217;ve been on the verge of tears for absolutely no reason.  There are really only 2 explanations:  PMS or depression.  I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;s the latter.  Well, or maybe the 8&#8243; &#8211; 12&#8243; inches of snow we&#8217;re expecting!  *wah*
I&#8217;ve been using EMSAM for 5 days now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Need To Talk About Kevin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
by Lionel Shriver
What&#8217;s it like to raise a child who winds up wounding and murdering some of his high school classmates, including a teacher?  Is it because of your lack of maternal skills, maybe even a dislike of your own child?  Is it because he was born with an inherent malice so [...]]]></description>
