		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow&#8217;s a really big day,
My Dad&#8217;s coming back home to stay,
And now comes my fun,
Because when it&#8217;s all done,
It&#8217;s Nurse Meps who&#8217;s the one he&#8217;ll obey.
~~~
(Don&#8217;t tell Dad, but she&#8217;s a pushover!)

Is the very best place you can go,
For a quick valve job, cheap,
But he won&#8217;t fix your Jeep,
For he just works on hearts, don&#8217;t you know.

Indian River Medical Center is my Dad&#8217;s hospital, just a few miles from his home. We&#8217;ve just learned that Consumer Reports has ranked it the [...]]]></description>

But this bug, with her massive libido,
Must have slept with a cow,
For her offspring are now
Too huge to be called mere &#8220;mosquito.&#8221;

Looked down on our dear Flutterby,
No damage was done,
And after that fun,
Great news: All our bilges are dry!
All&#8217;s well that ends well! Thanks to Kevin, Jonathan, Libby, and Nancy &#038; Kenny for taking care of things in North Carolina. And to our parents for letting us know that everything was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I wanted was just to relate,
To the mother of my chosen mate,
So we stared at the screen,
Of an Apple machine,
And we chatted of things like baud rate.
Though that&#8217;s twenty-three years in the past,
And our new Mac computers are fast,
We still sit back-to-back,
In the family shack,
And we surf and play games &#8212; what a blast!

		<description><![CDATA[They held extra rain in the sky,
Until I arrived in July,
A serious bummer,
Because in the summer
Seattle should be warm and dry.
Did you guys save this rain just for me? You shouldn&#8217;t have!

		<description><![CDATA[Nick sails Valkyrie, peaceful, serene,
With the engine turned off, no machine,
Breaks the stillness, the quiet,
Til he creates a riot,
With his blender, which burns gasoline.
With a sound like a loud chainsaw roar,
Our Lake Union&#8217;s not peaceful, no more,
&#8220;Margaritas,&#8221; I say,
&#8220;Over two miles away,&#8221;
It&#8217;s Saint Nick, giving alms to the pour.
We went out on Flagrante Delicto to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the day breaks, a beautiful hush
Hangs o&#8217;er breathtaking fields, oh so lush,
But this deceptive green,
Is the most ever seen,
For the rain&#8217;s turned the whole place to mush.
Sometimes it&#8217;s the colors that tell the real story, and it&#8217;s a tragedy. Driving along, enjoying the lovely green fields in North Dakota and Montana, we suddenly realized: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over 50 years, no one else knew,
That the preacher who married these two,
Did not tie a mere &#8220;knot,&#8221;
As the poor couple thought,
But instead joined the Stellrechts with glue.
Though he poured it on gooey and thick,
He still wasn&#8217;t sure that did the trick,
So what keeps them together,
In both good and bad weather?
It&#8217;s the DUCT TAPE, that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There once was a man with a frown,
And he glared at our boat, bearing down,
We escaped in disgrace,
From that look on his face,
But our new spot&#8217;s the best one in town.
In Wrightsville Beach, for the first time, we dragged anchor amongst other boats. Most of our neighbors were kind, except for one who sat on [...]]]></description>
