		<description><![CDATA[I heard from [Kar] yesterday.  She left me voicemail, curious about how Mom is doing since the heart failure diagnosis last week.  That was sweet of her to remember my family in these trying times.

		<description><![CDATA[It occurs after years of dating, that perfect tens only stay that way for an instant. Then they become as human and flawed as the rest of us. Makes one wonder at the long-term advantage of a ten; particularly once the novelty fades. After it does, the tens feel just like fives and sevens; and twos sometimes. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From audio journal episode   AJE-2010-05-07-19-30. Not all rejection is pointless, and some of it is good.  It can show us which paths to avoid in our love quests.  Rejection can actually guide us in the right direction, toward that ultimate goal of the love quest: sustained happiness in love. So if we’re going to keep [...]]]></description>
