		<description><![CDATA[I take a break from my self-exile in paper-writing-wonderland to report on the results of our small group&#8217;s Dirty Santa gift exchange last night. We gave: Our extra copies of C.S. Lewis&#8217;s Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters and an extra copy of John Calvin&#8217;s Golden Booklet of the Christian Life.

We&#8217;re kind of conceptual dorks like that: Unfortunately, the flapping skirt ruins something of the red line&#8217;s dramatic dive. And maybe Noel looks a little like he&#8217;s in prison stripes. But trust us. We thought it was funny.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As April and Bets have already chronicled, we indeed all got our new piercings. Because I&#8217;m a nerd and a weanie, I just got another hole in my ear&#8230; &#8230;and consequently my tale of The Moment of Piercing itself is rather unremarkable. What no one else has commented on, however, is the general atmosphere of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We were walking hand in hand through our neighborhood tonight. The man in the white t-shirt and jeans stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, twiddling his cigarette between his fingers and eying us intently. &#8220;You&#8217;re bubbly.&#8221; He said, pointing to Noel. &#8220;You&#8217;re lovely.&#8221; He said, pointing to me. And then, with the man clearly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a long time coming, but this month Noel and I have finally been offered wine for communion at our own church. It is amazing &#8212; even unsettling &#8212; how quickly our bodies and minds rewire expectations. After two years of tipping back little cups of Welch&#8217;s finest every Sunday, I had grown to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got my diploma from WashU in the mail a few days ago. I had sort of forgotten that I had actually finished a degree program and now possessed some useless letters that could but probably never will follow my name. It&#8217;s a fancier diploma than I expected, all engraving-on-silk-inset-in-leather-folio. This is all well and [...]]]></description>

He was middle aged, tanned orange, and wearing bright blue running shorts. The important fact, though, is that his biceps took up roughly the entire width of the sidewalk. Like this: This made me acutely [...]]]></description>
