		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been in here in a long time.
It&#8217;s not that I didn&#8217;t have anything to say. It&#8217;s just that I&#8217;m having trouble making up my mind how much of what I have to say can be said in public. 
A lot of things have changed.
As of this writing, Baker is in jail. It came [...]]]></description>

Kimmie (staring across the room): Ricky&#8217;s got a lot of definition in his shoulders. (pause) Hey, Ricky, I can see your nipple.
Mom: What does that have to do with the definition in his shoulder?
Ricky: Oh, yeah? Hey, Kimmie! (whips aside his muscle shirt to [...]]]></description>

I figured out why my marriage failed. 
I&#8217;ve known all along that, while it would be really easy to think that Baker is just too neurotic to be married to, it wasn&#8217;t all him.
Well, it was but &#8230; well, let me explain.
I&#8217;m watching him with his fiancee &#8212; well, I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>

He performed there (solo: The Hunter&#8217;s Chorus, scales and sightreading) before a single judge and he did very, very well. In fact, he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve decided. I want an Accent.
It doesn&#8217;t have to be new. I try not to be unreasonable. But that&#8217;s what I want.
Christmas really changes in nature as your children grow up. 
There are a lot of reasons for that but the most important reason is that, as your children get older, they start wanting things [...]]]></description>

I can see that the school year will proceed according to schedule, with no real surprises and no startling new behaviors on the part of my children.
Three days into the school and Ricky wins this year&#8217;s award for most airheaded child of the Baker clan, hands down. Clearly, he hasn&#8217;t changed [...]]]></description>

So, I was thinking about Ricky recently and I was thinking that I should get a tee shirt made for him with that famous and appropriate quotation from Linus van Pelt:
Big sisters are the crabgrass on the lawn of life.
