		<title>2011-2012 Broncos prediction update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here&#8217;s what I predicted back whenever. And here&#8217;s what actually happened. Oakland at Denver: predicted Denver. Wrong. Cincinnati at Denver: Predicted Cincinnati. Wrong. @Tennessee: Predicted Denver. Wrong. @Green Bay: Predicted Green Bay. Correct. San Diego at Denver: Predicted San Diego. Correct. Bye @Miami: Predicted Denver win. Correct. Detroit: Predicted Denver win. Wrong. @Oakland: Predicted [...]]]></description>

		<title>On being perpetually 15 minutes late</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ugh. Long story short, we are in Honolulu. We&#8217;re supposed to be in Maui, but owing to a fog delay, we missed our connection (by fifteen minutes), made what seemed like a lucky standby coincidental connection to Honolulu but have not yet managed, in spite of a billion phone calls and customer service reps and [...]]]></description>

		<title>On NaBloPoMo failure and canine conception</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ugh. Internets, I suck. Besides missing the very first day of NaBloPoMo, I missed another. And now, another. It&#8217;s like a metaphor, for my life. But like a smoker, I can start to quit anew every day&#8230;hmm, wait. Anyway. Today, November 19, 2011, is the day we attempted to get my poor dog knocked up. [...]]]></description>

		<title>On tonight&#8217;s Broncos game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow. I mean, WOW. Slow start, wild finish. I hate Tebow&#8217;s arm, hate the fact that he&#8217;s being lauded for winning a game when he CAN&#8217;T THROW THE DAMN BALL, but I love his legs and I love Broncos wins, and I love seeing Rex Ryan look like he&#8217;s trying to shit a turtle.]]></description>

		<title>On going back to work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Childcare crisis averted; we&#8217;ve found a daycare. This means I return to the workforce in January. Not that I&#8217;m not in it now, but my few hours of freelance writing aren&#8217;t exactly raking in the big bucks (nor, as it turns out, are my unpaid hours of editing for friends and family). However, if the [...]]]></description>

		<title>On sorting things out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Day 2 of The Husband Is Being More Productive Than Me, and his cleaning and organizing the storage room can only mean one thing: he&#8217;s avoiding something. What that is, I couldn&#8217;t say. But why else would he spend all evening sorting through boxes and asking me what I want done with old magazines, [...]]]></description>

		<title>On layabouting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You  know what the worst thing is about one&#8217;s husband being productive all day? He raked most of the leaves the tree shat on the lawn and spent the entire evening sorting through and filing away old papers, looking, vainly, for Boy Genius&#8217;s birth certificate. So what&#8217;s bad, you ask, about a productive husband? HE&#8217;S [...]]]></description>

		<title>In which my liberal card is revoked</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I believe that everyone with income should pay federal income tax. This is a pretty unpopular opinion in liberal circles, and a wildly popular opinion in conservative ones, so I will explain, so as to make both camps unhappy with me. (Ah, well.) According to the Tax Policy Center, there are 151 million tax units [...]]]></description>

		<title>On leaving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think this is not in the spirit of NaBloPoMo, but I&#8217;m off to the Wallowas this evening and nearly forgot to post before I left. As for the timing of my departure, well, who doesn&#8217;t live driving windy, forested, possibly snowy roads in the dark with a screaming toddler?]]></description>

		<title>On nothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NaBloPoMo, Day 7 I have almost nothing to say. It&#8217;s election day, one best spent in bed on a deserted island with a book and no internet. Unfortunately that is not how I spent it, and now I&#8217;m medicating with Haggen-Dazs and will resume Game of Thrones, the book, shortly.]]></description>

		<title>On time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have spent nearly all day trying to finish one of my articles so my editor won&#8217;t regret hiring me, but a certain Boy Genius is making it difficult. First, and in spite of our patient explanations, he didn&#8217;t care for the time change and awoke at 5:20. Then he decided two short naps wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>On being a gimp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After getting Boy Genius to bed last night, I was headed downstairs with a yet-unconsumed glass of Mommy Needs A Minute (or similar) and the Husband was popping a Redbox DVD into the player, and instead of watching where I was going I was admiring the view of his backside. The next thing I knew [...]]]></description>

		<title>On political debate reality shows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s my third day of NaBloPoMo and because I cannot think of how to get voters to understand just how ridiculous the Republican candidates are (EXCEPT HUNTSMAN &#8212; WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE &#8212; EVEN I WOULD CONSIDER VOTING FOR HIM), I propose the following debate/reality show formats: Lie Detector Dunk Tank. Is [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the state of the 2011 Broncos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day two of NaBloPoMo and I&#8217;m thinking about football. It&#8217;s Thursday, which means I&#8217;m on the upswing of my weekly Broncos football depression bender. Okay, so we got pounded last week by the Detroit Lions and my predictions have me flunking Divination 101, but this week we&#8217;re playing the Raiders (and according to the506.com, I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Halloween</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my first attempt at participating in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo &#8212; say that three times fast), which the illustrious and articulate Ceri made me aware of. Let&#8217;s just file this under Things I&#8217;ve Already Failed At and skip past the part where I didn&#8217;t do day 1 of the challenge and move [...]]]></description>

		<title>Power, sharing, and parenting: A working theory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Slate article on children sharing caught my attention because I have been annoyed at the parental hypervigilance and &#8212; dare I say &#8212; interference in children&#8217;s interactions with each other. You know, a parent swooping in and demanding that little Bobby share the Play-Dough with little Susie, who sidled over and grabbed it from [...]]]></description>
