		<title>Disston D-8 Handsaw</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Luck was with me yesterday at the Bonham, Texas trade day when I purchased a hand saw for $10.

		<title>That&#8217;s My Boy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s My Boy &#8211; Part 1
My father had a great line used with effect on me when I failed to use common sense or my behavior was off the mark. In those instances, Dad would look over at me and say, &#8220;That&#8217;s my boy.&#8221;  The tone was not angry, not explicit disappointment, and was [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Mother &#8211; Priceless</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I age, I reflect on my parents with increasing frequency and find myself thinking of Mother and Dad with gratitude and awe. I was blessed with wonderful parents.

		<title>Organic, Natural and Sustainable Categories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The food categories &#8220;organic&#8221; &#8220;natural&#8221; and &#8220;sustainable&#8221; are confusing.

		<title>The Swallows Have Gone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The swallows have departed.   On Saturday afternoon just past, August 15, I walked out on the back porch to fire up the grill for evening dinner when I noticed something was different.

		<description><![CDATA[At the start of another year, I am more mindful than ever of serenity, peace and harmony.   What more significant New Year’s End resolution could one hope for than serenity, peace and harmony?
My Christmas-New Year holiday period, in recent years, has been spent at my ranch, Journey’s End Ranch, for the full two-week period. [...]]]></description>
