		<title>Happy Birthday to Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The world was a terrifying place on May 20, 1983.  At any second, an array of LGM-118 Peacekeeper missiles could erupt from the ground while Russian ICBMs hurtled down from the sky in response.  I pictured Yuri Andropov&#8217;s face cackling as mushroom clouds decimated dad&#8217;s ranch; the barn disintegrated and my goat, Fred Butter, sprinted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Temp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first graduated from college, I decided that I was going to be a novelist. The closest big city was Los Angeles so I found an apartment there with two roommates. My rent was $275. Since I didn’t have a job, I didn’t have any idea how I could possibly make that much in [...]]]></description>
