		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Let&#8217;s take this offline for further discussion. We just don&#8217;t have the bandwidth to address that here. Besides, best practices dictate that we stay client-centric and focus on our core competencies on a going-forward basis using a holistic approach while still tending to our ROI and best-of-breed reputation.

		<description><![CDATA[I bought some salt+vinegar chips from at a corner store at College/Euclid last week to find a nibbled off corner at the bottom once I got home. They were on a top-shelf and had no remnants of packaging attached to the hole indicating an abrasion where a rip may have occurred in transport. No, this [...]]]></description>

My morning-after hangover was a bit more bittersweet than usual. After reading his <a href="http://www.marginalia.org/dfw_kenyon_commencement.html">blunt 2005 commencement speech</a> and catching so many blurbs about the man's brilliance, I felt a need to jump on that bandwagon and get in touch with the hype.]]></description>
