		<title>Quotation of the Day: C. S. Lewis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Your quotation of the day is a paradox from C. S. Lewis:  &#8220;It is the stupidest children who are the most childish and the stupidest grown-ups who are the most grown-up.&#8221;
Think about it&#8230;

		<title>The Four Food Groups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During a conversation that was nice, but not interesting enough to share here, the fellows and I concluded something interesting.  We declared; the four food groups shall henceforth be known as &#8220;Wheats, Meats, Teats, and Beets.&#8221;  Why can&#8217;t the FDA come up with mnemonic devices like that?

		<title>Notes from the 2009 Gun-Deer Season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have two notes from this year&#8217;s hunt:
1. We &#8220;teamed up&#8221; on a coyote.  Actually, my father-in-law tagged her from 150 yards away with a shotgun and then we trailed her to a culvert.
2. We got a reminder of how hard-core my mom really is.

		<title>Was It a Lamb or an Ass?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Consider this.  About half of the covers of What Child Is This? that I have heard within the last five years have changed &#8220;ox and ass&#8221; to &#8220;ox and lamb.&#8221;  What would William Chatterton Dix think of this?  We shall never know; but in my humble and sometimes wrong opinion, it is presumptuous to arbitrarily [...]]]></description>
