		<title>Things a medical professional shouldn&#8217;t say</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had my monthly doctor appointment on Monday, and they checked my weight and blood pressure as usual. The nurse read the blood pressure numbers back to me: &#8220;98 over 68.&#8221;
She paused.
&#8220;Is that normal for you?&#8221;
And the tone in her voice suggested that these numbers were anything but normal. But perhaps I was some sort [...]]]></description>

		<title>The rude awakening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Winston rarely gives us the gift of sleeping through the night. He usually wakes me at 6 a.m. by pawing at me, biting me or jumping onto my head (I wish I were joking about that). That might be a fine alarm clock for some, but given that I go to bed between 1 and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wildlife in suburbia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday morning, I let Abe out into the yard and he barked incessantly. Abe usually barks if there are people or dogs walking by, so I figured someone was out for a morning stroll. I coaxed him back into the house with a treat.
I was away for a couple hours, and when I returned, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Somethings green this way come</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



The box turtle is in our backyard. We have no idea how he got there, but he gave Sarah hours of entertainment today as he went all over the yard at a speed that is astonishing for a turtle.

		<title>A dangerous place for chickens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Greg and I spent last week in Vermont and really enjoyed ourselves. The state is beautiful and makes you feel a little bit as though you&#8217;ve traveled back in time. We didn&#8217;t see any Wal-Marts or McDonald&#8217;s or any chain stores at all, really. Almost every business is family-owned, and most towns still have a [...]]]></description>

After many, many takes, we finally got a good shot, complete with Greg&#8217;s cane. There are more photos here.

		<title>The age difference becomes a problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Greg is nine months older than me, which never seemed to matter much before, but with his penchant for injuries, his body is probably 30 years older than mine. Still, we&#8217;ve been getting by fine.
We went back to the doctor yesterday to learn the results of his MRI. We were happy to learn that he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Me, destroying a knee and dreams&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

You can&#8217;t see me too clearly in this picture, but that&#8217;s me in there somewhere destroying my knee. Unfortunately, they weren&#8217;t my dreams of fun and excitement over the next few weeks. Sorry, Sarah.
