		<description><![CDATA[My journey is at an end, the tale has been told.
The reader who has followed so faithfully and so
far has a right to ask what message I bring back.
It can be stated in three words:

[Uganda] is alive by itself. It is vital, and in my
view, in spite of its insects and diseases, it [...]]]></description>

Two new pairs of shoes so far. I&#8217;d fill up my entire duffel with shoes if I could but I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After year&#8217;s of direct sun and little maintenance, this deck on the southern side of my parent&#8217;s house needed attention. I planned to simply remove and replace the deck&#8217;s damaged railings and deck boards. However, while deconstructing the deck, I found that the posts were resting on grade; covered with only inches of dirt. I [...]]]></description>

Tommy is a fixture on the street. He&#8217;s the guy who knows everyone and is always willing to talk as long as you want. I&#8217;ve occasionally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, annoyed at how the space I live in disfunctions, I began to re-envision my apartment. The problem with the layout (pictured below) is that the bedrooms are scattered and the public areas do not relate to each other. At parties, the long hallway gets clogged, and, in the morning, I wake up to people [...]]]></description>

As luck would have it, we don&#8217;t need to live close by to be part of his creative process. Jerome routinely uploads new material to his myspace page. Then, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is an undeniable truth that few want to address: increasing solar and wind production cannot halt global climate change. The technologies that harness the power of the sun are effective only at increasing supply during peak power usage. They, however, are not a replacement for coal, and that is what we need.

		<description><![CDATA[I fell in love with Japanese architecture a few years ago while building stone and thatch homes of the English countryside vernacular. Less rustic than their English counterparts, these intricately detailed homes feature simple, clean lines.

Following the lead of architects such as Le Corbusier Japanese architects combined these traditional design aesthetics with elements of the [...]]]></description>
