		<title>Chew on This</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lia has learned to use humor to deal with painful emotions. For instance, she wasn&#8217;t able to go to a sleepover that she&#8217;s been looking forward to for weeks  because she caught a cold the day before. She went through her grieving  period this morning when I found her huddled in a dark [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Moon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is from Lia&#8217;s poem book&#8230;
The moon follows you around all night.
It might be so creepy it gives you a fright.
But, think of how lonely he is at night.
He might even be shy
way up there in the sky.
You say, hi,
to the moon in the sky,
but he never says anything back.

		<title>Travels with Lobster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having been away from my family for almost a week to help John and Kate move  and having received the commission to return with 8 fresh Maine lobster, I started feeling the pressure when it was time to leave. I knew I&#8217;d be in hot water if I didn&#8217;t.
Besides, as Brent put it, it&#8217;s tradition [...]]]></description>

		<title>Midnight Wonders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The moonlit sky,
The stars say hi,
The sun says bye.
The wolf howls to the moon,
it echoes far and wide.
The tide comes
and the birds lay in their nests,
The sun says hi,
The moon says bye,
We all had a good rest.


-Lia

		<title>Video Game Brain Drain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lia&#8217;s journal entry for October 6, 2019:
When I was about 8 or 9, my mother decided that enough of my brains had leaked out of my head with video games. So her way of plugging the leak was to limit my video game playing to one hour a day.
My parents often struggled with the balance [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wazooberry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This last week there has been an abundance of probiotic activity in our home. Let the cleansing begin!
Of course, with my mother being here for a week after John&#8217;s wedding, which went fabulously (Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Kim!), we have been well-stocked with kimchi, a well-known fermented food rich in “healthy bacteria” called lactobacilli which help with digestion. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Day Before the Wedding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this nice
corner of paradise,
we squeeze in
frantic moments
of laughter
and life as
it is. The poet
says truly
&#8217;sound and fury.&#8217;
All these
people (crazy)
and
I (crazy)
are a lot
in life that
I would not have
any other way.
Until Sunday.

		<title>Country Sounds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest lessons I&#8217;ve learned after living in the country for 10 months is that loudness has its place, one of them being a 2-story farmhouse on Indian Lake Road in Byesville, Ohio.
I have had to increase my volume to be heard in the quietest place I have ever lived. There isn&#8217;t much city [...]]]></description>

		<title>UTI and Dementia in the Elderly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know what&#8217;s really scary?
A smart person in the grip of a psychotic episode. I&#8217;ve seen it happen to intelligent people in their 30&#8217;s and bright kids as young as 8, but in those cases, you know it&#8217;s not Alzheimer&#8217;s. You don&#8217;t have that assurance with older people who develop dementia-like symptoms.
Don&#8217;t get me wrong, [...]]]></description>
