		<title>Friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend, my oldest friend and I got together. He is a dear man whose name comes from Vaudeville. One  Mr. &#8220;Nosmo King&#8221;   For those that might not get it&#8230;Nosmo King = NO SMOKING.
OK, maybe you did get it.

		<title>Karmic Repairs done while you wait&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past several months, I have found respite in a tiny little cafe in Santa Barbara California that has been selling wholesome food to the nuts and berries crowd since 1978. This oasis in the confusion is called the Sojourner Cafe. My experience there has been exquisitely revealing.

What I have discovered is profound. It [...]]]></description>

He lives on the second leg of my daily bike ride. This is my Myrtle journey (for those of you that have been not been following the Trifling Blog since my arrival in Santa Barbara) begins a mi casa, and goes to the beach and back. It takes the place of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Political Commentary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The regular readers of the Trifling blog don&#8217;t usually encounter political commentary from the owner/publisher. This is because I am typically a-political. Not that I don&#8217;t have positions or opinions, but like football, I have never developed a penchant for watching either of these spectator sports. My roommate however, as well as being a snappy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guess who&#8217;s coming to dinner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Guess who&#8217;s coming to dinner? Bootiesatva. And unless you inventory your pets and children they are fair game. Not that he will consume them, but&#8230;.he might. I know this look. It is both hunger, and not. As all looks are, it is a tell. A specter. A foreshadow. Bootiesatva has a cousin named Chipper. He [...]]]></description>

The Hollow Men
T. S. Eliot
Mistah Kurtz—he dead.
      A penny for the Old Guy
      I
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gramma Laura</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone in the Good Ol&#8217; USofA has a gramma that was the &#8220;pie&#8221; gramma. This gramma is the keeper of the secrets of baking. This was the gramma that stood at the kitchen counter when we were kids and using nothing but a rolling pin and air (as far as we knew) baked delicacies fit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fish Tacos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was a young man:  a new father in fact; my father-in-law said to us one day:&#8221; We should sally forth, to the land of my birth in search of the holy grail&#8221;. I knew that his cause was just, and his honor true. 
Being but a squire at the time, I attended [...]]]></description>

		<title>And I Helped</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Once in a decade or so, an image so impacts me, that it feels like there is a physical weight on my chest. An example  would be the  little girl in the Shake and Bake commercial from the 60&#8217;s -  &#8220;And I helped&#8221;.   It was just such a weird and twisted image.
