		<title>My Mini-Break Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Taylor and I haven&#8217;t managed to take a major vacation yet this year, but we have been on a string of lovely mini-breaks this summer. Perhaps that&#8217;s been better off for my mental health, since I was just reading that some research suggests  only a week after their vacation workers have already lost the boost [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Return to the Black Widowers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Return of the Black Widowers by Isaac Asimov My rating: 4 of 5 stars Awhile ago, something someone did or said sparked a memory for me of a Black Widowerer story. It goes like this: A man lives on a street of outwardly identical houses, one night comes home dead drunk, and enters the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yoga Retreat in Tulum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For five days, I did four hours of yoga a day on the beach in a chilled-out, charming beachtown in Mexico. I ate well and drank different kinds of juices at every meal. My arms got pumped (or at least they got sore) and I loved every second of it! Ladycation, you do me right. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Whirlwind, Rainy Tour of Italy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rome, Florence and Tuscany in seven days. That was our goal, and we made it through, but not without severe exhaustion and a sense of having been everywhere and nowhere at once. Given that two of my favorite things in the world are good food and art, it did seem like sacrilege that I had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Houston, We Have Liftoff. Thank God.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, all I want to do for my 30th birthday is get dressed up, drink a good, strong cocktail and stuff my face with black-bottom cupcakes and coffee ice cream. Maybe I&#8217;ll even get Double Rainbow espresso bean shipped in&#8230; But Taylor&#8217;s 30th-birthday wish was a bit more, shall we say, adventurous. He wanted to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tale of Two Cities (As Seen Through My Stomach)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my first week in Vancouver, I constantly went back and forth between totally ravenous and utterly stuffed, without any in-between. This is why. My day would begin with a fruitless effort to make it to 6am yoga. Instead I&#8217;d hit snooze, and try to sleep for another hour. The emails from New York would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vancouver Olympics: Fireworks at the MPC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My new home: the MPC. So, no, I didn&#8217;t get to go the Opening Ceremony. But we did have a front-row view from the deck of the MPC (housed in a cruise-ship looking, tented building on the waterfront) of the fireworks. It was pretty spectacular:]]></description>

		<title>Scuba Adventuress Extraordinaire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I survived a bleeding scrape, saltwater-induced nausea, having to cart around tanks half my size and twice my weight, flippers that kept falling off my feet and several encounters with fire coral that left swollen, red stingy rashes on my leg and arm. And partially because I think it makes me sound really tough and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saba: My Paradise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve traveled to a fair number of places in my life (not as many as Taylor, but still), and I&#8217;ve loved most of them in some way or another. I look back over my photos from Croatia or Vietnam and think how beautiful it was; I remember the food I ate in Singapore, and get [...]]]></description>
