		<description><![CDATA[We were wrapped up in our music, that's why we never saw,
The cars pulled up, the boys got out and the room filled up with law.
They came bounding through the back door in the middle of a song.
They got me for possession of something that was gone, long gone.

		<description><![CDATA[You can get accustomed to things, and then before long, you'll let yourself tear yourself up for the crowd, the acclaim, the adrenaline... it doesn't matter, it just happens, and you'll go on as long as you can, and then one day you'll realize that you can't do it any more, hopefully you'll be riding high at that time, but so often you're  a busted pile on the arena floor, with thirty thousand eyes watching as you fall.

		<description><![CDATA[   How often have you ever heard people asking "Why did God create ticks"?  Now a daring and bold writer has gone out into the world asking this retorical question to some of the country's leading scientists. And she put it into an article, go to 'The Life Story of a Tick' by Constance Casey for the inside scoop. You will likely find out a lot of little tidbits of tick info.

		<description><![CDATA[   He wrote his own eulogy..... I enclose most of it here... but some is a bit too ribald for publication on a family site.   The part I cannot include was the last paragraph... the minister would not read that portion aloud at the ceremony either. Trust me, it's funny, but if the Pastor will not read it aloud, I'd best not print it.

		<description><![CDATA[  Organic farming is difficult to do on a huge basis. Part of the tenet of organics is the pull away from a monoculture environment wherein all the plants in a field, on a farm are of one variety or species. With diversification on a small organic farm, there is more interaction between the groups of plants, more rotation that might be practiced, and the movement from host to refuge plant for the good and bad bugs. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We stood on the dim porch, under the overhanging roof, deep in the shadows and listened to the close scream, then farther away we hard another scream, that was repeated twice. Then our own closer lion screamed again, and the other one repeated the scream twice. Over the next ten minutes we heard these two lions call to each other across the vastness of the open canyon.]]></description>
