		<title>Opposition Governing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This recent post by Andrew Sullivan articulated what I guess has frustrated me of late. It seems like the Republican party has re-fashioned itself into an opposition party whose sole principle is opposition. Perhaps this will just take a bit of time to adjust being in the minority in the government, but as far as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonesthrow.wordpress.com&blog=471735&post=441&subd=stonesthrow&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Best Call Ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Basically, you need to go to this page, which has the two audio files in question.
The gist? Mike Blowers, color analyst for the Mariners and actually a good one, and slightly entertaining, predicts in the pre-game show that Matt Tuiasosopo would get his first major league home run during the game about to start, down [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonesthrow.wordpress.com&blog=471735&post=442&subd=stonesthrow&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>SWha?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read on one of my Vegas messageboards (don&#8217;t judge) that Southwest is instituting a new &#8220;EarlyBird&#8221; policy: basically, you can pay $10 to check in and get your boarding number 36 hours before your flight leaves, and hus before the huddled masses check in 24 hours before the flight leaves.
I have mixed feelings. First, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonesthrow.wordpress.com&blog=471735&post=438&subd=stonesthrow&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Chicago</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, we had a Southwest credit to blow through, so we needed a SW destination that we wanted to actually go to and spend a long weekend. We&#8217;ve been to Chicago before, but either for not very long or during the winter. So, it was decided.
We found a good rate at the Intercontinental right on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonesthrow.wordpress.com&blog=471735&post=435&subd=stonesthrow&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>An Unhappy Playlist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not to dwell on the recent passing of my Grandma, but I wanted to add one more thing: in addition to composing the obituary, I was tasked with choosing the music for the service. I write about it here  just because it&#8217;s something that I really never thought of, but thought that I should probably [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonesthrow.wordpress.com&blog=471735&post=433&subd=stonesthrow&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Yank</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Yankee Stadium I visited a few times was, frankly, underwhelming. It may have been storied at one point, but it certainly had none of the amenities of the newer parks, nor did it have the feel of the next oldest parks I have been to &#8212; Fenway and Dodger Stadium. I didn&#8217;t see all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonesthrow.wordpress.com&blog=471735&post=414&subd=stonesthrow&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Above it All</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m clearing out the drafts folder, so here goes.
When we were in NYC for Donna&#8217;s glorious nuptials, we did a good deal of walking and decided to explore the High Line. For those of you not aware, they&#8217;ve taken over elevated train tracks and converted into a public park, and it is simply genius. The [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonesthrow.wordpress.com&blog=471735&post=412&subd=stonesthrow&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>More Grandma</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll just put up some vignettes by way of letting the world know what a great woman she was:

Some of my earliest memories of her are sessions sitting in her lap. Grandpa Wally had an uncanny ability to choose the largest, most perfect apples, and I would sit in Grandma&#8217;s lap while she first peeled [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonesthrow.wordpress.com&blog=471735&post=420&subd=stonesthrow&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Patricia J. Weight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the obituary I wrote for my grandma, in case anyone is interested. More ruminations to follow no doubt&#8230;
Patricia J. Weight passed away on July 31. She was 80. Pat shared most of her life with her loving husband Wally, but she also shared so much with so many others. As a foodservice manager [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonesthrow.wordpress.com&blog=471735&post=418&subd=stonesthrow&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Up the Hangover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a story of expectations.
I went into Up thinking that it could not possible live up to the hype: that it could not be yet another tour de force from Pixar (despite yet again not having a female lead); that it could not uplift and make me laugh and make me cry and make [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonesthrow.wordpress.com&blog=471735&post=409&subd=stonesthrow&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
