		<description><![CDATA[I was sitting on the tailgate, pulling up my waders when an angler came ambling up the trail. “Any luck?” I asked in the perfunctory way all fishermen do when they meet coming and going from the water. “Kinda slow,” he said quietly, “but I did ok.”  The guy looked a little squirrelly and was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spring brings many rituals. After a confining winter, even one as mild as that just passed, we seek reassurance in the search for pussy willow, crocus, and coltsfoot. We turn a bit of soil to plant peas, with an eye to enjoying the green bounty on or before “the Fourth.”  Exclaim at the first robins, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can’t really recall a particular event in my life that made me say “You know, I think I’ll recycle today,” but I was definitely doing my part to save the planet before “going green” became fashionable. Perhaps it was my dad, who used to memorize the location of every returnable can and bottle on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The natives of the boreal forest had their birch canoes. Canoes enabled them to travel across America on woodland streams and rivers. The first nations depended on their canoes for daily life. The plains Indians adopted the horse and became a horse culture. Indian life and wealth were centered on the horse.

		<description><![CDATA[Speedster
My friend Olive gave me a sled. Not one of those molded plastic gizmos made in China out of old soda bottles, but a real made-in-the-USA classic. Steel runners. Hardwood deck. Sturdy maple steering bar. Real rope, just the right length to tuck under the tailboards.
“It’s out in the breezeway,” she directed. I found it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ We were going after a Christmas tree. We were piling everyone&#8212;dogs included&#8212;into the van and heading out across the Airline Road to find a Christmas tree. What we were really doing was making memories. But it wasn’t easy with three rambunctious boys, ages nine, seven, and four. It took most of the morning just to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, let me confess that I am an unlikely candidate for cashiering at Wal-Mart. In the past, whenever I saw a large conglomerate move into an area, all too often the old downtown local stores gradually went out of business. I always want to support local businesses, so I haven’t appreciated the large corporations that [...]]]></description>

I’m wearing a bright yellow, long-sleeve t-shirt with a brook trout emblazoned across the back and my flannel jeans, the pair purchased from L.L. Bean the year before Emily, our college-age daughter, was born. Stained and frayed, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Wolf Moon Journal, we have made a rather sad decision. We have decided that the fall 2009 magazine will be the last print issue. This was not an easy decision to make. This is our seventh year, and we felt as though we had a real history. However, there were several factors that led [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Well, the press officer goes bananas. He wants to know which side the Globe thinks it&#8217;s on. So I tell him, it&#8217;s not on any side, stupid, it&#8217;s an objective fact-gathering organization. And he says, yes, but is it objective-for or objective-against?&#8221;
