		<description><![CDATA[I have a deeply conflicted relationship with seasons. As a little girl, I loved a particular children&#8217;s book that existed for the sole purpose of teaching kids seasons. Living in a seasonless climate myself, it seemed like the book was describing a fantastic, made-up world. I memorized a seasonal calendar from that book. December through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While growing up in Hawaii had distinct advantages, fresh and affordable Christmas trees were not numbered among those perks. When I was especially wee, my parents bought small, rather scrawny trees from the parking lot of Foodland; unfortunately, I was so young that they had to place the precious evergreen in the playpen for its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, some friends from Hawaii, Gavin and Hannah, recently moved to Ames, Iowa so that Gavin could attend vet school. To be perfectly frank, there&#8217;s not a whole lot going on in Ames, so the Ganzers took a Labor Day road trip to the Gateway City. Now, if you have ever thought, &#8220;Self, why would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Towards the end of the semester, discussion in my 1930s class rabbit-trailed to more contemporary debates that left me uneasy and rather at odds with the practical outworkings of contemporary theories on race. At it&#8217;s pithiest incarnation, the question was such: should the white, adoptive parents of a Guatemalan child raise that child to know [...]]]></description>

Noel, unfortunately, has yet to embrace the fabulousness of this food product. On this last trip out, Ian hatched a clever plan: challenge Noel to a Halo2 tournament, best of three. If Noel won, Ian [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Calling Hawaii &#8216;home&#8217; clearly has undeniable benefits. Still, you never quite get used to the unusual happenings that accompany the conflation of &#8216;childhood home&#8217; and &#8216;dream vacation paradise.&#8217; I may be wrong, but I think it highly unlikely that you, oh native resident of Montana, have ever had your fellow passengers perform the wave during [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back when my predilection for historical fiction was deep and true, I used to revel in the unending descriptions of &#8220;preparations&#8221; for heading west. I can&#8217;t entirely explain this fascination, but I adored the lists of supplies and the painstaking details of curing meat and finishing quilts. I had no idea what 10 yards of [...]]]></description>
