		<title>Sails vs Wings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today the BMW-Oracle syndicate defeated Alinghi in the Americas Cup.&#160; The race was unconventional from the start, featuring multi-hull boats rather than the traditional 12m single hull boats, not to mention the multi-year legal battle waged against Alinghi by BMW-Oracle to gain an advantage in location and boat design.&#160; It was also different in terms [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Let Oprah Tell You What to Read!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Instead support up and coming author Jacob Paul and an indie publisher (Ig Publishing) out of Brooklyn by buying Sarah/Sara.
I am an avid reader of contemporary literature as well as historical fiction and non-fiction, poetry, pulp fiction, the odd twinkie thriller page turner, and of course, cook books.  There is one book however that [...]]]></description>

		<title>6 to 8 Black Men in “blueface”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago I had the privilege of hearing David Sedaris read his short story &#8220;6 to 8 Blackmen&#8221; (I don&#8217;t know its official title), Live, in Olympia, Washington.  (I was with one other American, a very recent immigrant from Sweden and a Filipino man.  The other American and I nearly fell out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Granada in October</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Look at the jasmine, whose branches are green
as topaz, and its stems and leaves &#8211;
while its blossoms are white as bdellium.
With carnelian red in its shoot
it looks like a pallid boy who&#8217;s shedding
the blood of innocent men with his hand.
&#8211; Shmuel Ha&#8217;Nagid (993-1056)
Field Commander and Chief of Staff for Baiis, Berber King of Granada

		<title>Cheek Smashing With the Best of Them</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we first moved to Granada 2 ½ years ago, I worried pretty much constantly about doing the &#8220;right&#8221; things and behaving in the &#8220;right&#8221; way in all manner of social, business (and other) situations.  This is not because I believe that there is in fact any right way to behave but because I [...]]]></description>

		<title>¡Toro! ¡Toro! ¡Toro!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The following is an account of a bullfight and may not be appropriate for all audiences.
So I found myself at a bullfight the other day.  I say &#8220;found myself&#8221; as if 2 ½ years of hard thinking and contemplation about whether to go hadn&#8217;t gone into the decision to be there.  Normally (that is, when [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Brightest Bulb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of the many basically obvious things that seem to escape our dog Roscoe&#8217;s comprehension (like that moving cars are dangerous but water sprinklers are not) is that when you go out into our 2-door patio through one open door, you probably re-enter the house through the same open door which you exited. This weekend he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow Days in the Albayzin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember snow days growing up in Denver, Colorado with a nostalgia bordering on romanticism.  I remember awaking in the morning and first noticing the absolute and almost deafening silence that a few feet of snow brings.  Out my second story window I&#8217;d see tree branches wilting to the ground under the weight [...]]]></description>

		<title>You’ll Poke Yer Eye Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brian&#8217;s just too tall for Madrid, Granada, and probably most of España.  The poor man is continually whacking his head on all manner of awnings, street lights, hanging plants, flags, and of course, most often, cross walk lights.  I honestly don&#8217;t remember how low these things hang in the US but I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
