		<description><![CDATA[UNLIKELIER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED than my buddy Travis getting married. The dude has raced Saabs across Sweden. He&#8217;s pushed a giant fuel bomb off a three-story balcony. Rumor has it he once strapped a vial of scalding-hot fluid to his leg to falsify a medical test. How many times has Travis persuaded me to choose what is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I AM IRRESISTIBLY ATTUNED to music played in public, for better or worse. Out of car windows and radios, in bookstores, cafés and record shops, rocking minigolf DJ sets and sweaty karaoke boxes. Often this entails suffering (Eagles, Wham, Christmas tunes, Wham Christmas tunes). Sometimes surprise—an old frat rock anthem shout-sung by a dude chorus: joyous moment (ya probably had to [...]]]></description>

Not finishing what I start is a habit I copped writing copy, a job that thrives on quick hits of understanding (both in and out). Now I second-guess the value of depth vs. speed in everything I [...]]]></description>

They said our good intentions are mostly in vain when we choose to change at such an arbitrary time. Resolutions have to spring from profound crisis, they said, from needs that [...]]]></description>

So this quick one before I lose another a month: a belated love-note to the neighborhood we called home until September.
