		<description><![CDATA[I was in a fairly crowded convenience store and purchased two lottery scratch off tickets.  The store clerk asked me if I had any preference as to which ones.  Now, to me, it doesn&#8217;t matter.  I have to figure that the whole thing is randomly generated by a computer and winning is all left to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In her recent post, Tiffany posed an interesting question about adults having a “committee” to decide whether they like someone.   I&#8217;d have to say that I think this occurs as a result of repeated failure in dating and relationships.   When we start to lose faith in our own decision making we lean on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months ago, I met a man I wasn't particularly interested in.  Actually, that happens all the time.  What makes this man worth mentioning was that I was pretty interested in the life he was leading.  It looked a lot like the life I had in the good days of my marriage, when my family was involved in our community and my husband and I spent a lot of time actively parenting and younger people in the neighborhood came to us for help and advice.  In short, it looked a lot like a life I'd already been happy in, a life where I'd found my true heart.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not even for employees.  Mike&#8217;s recent analogy between interviewing for a prospective business partner or employee and &#8220;interviewing&#8221; for a prospective life partner is apt.  Unfortunately, it overlooks one very important point:  interviewing doesn&#8217;t work.  You know that I don&#8217;t believe interview-style dating works, but now I&#8217;m going one step further.  Traditional interviewing doesn&#8217;t work [...]]]></description>
