		<title>Javier discovers a new species of animal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know my readers have been waiting to see what I&#8217;ve been up to on my extended vacation in Albany, so I had my &#8220;grandma&#8221; take some photos of my recent adventure in the yard.

		<description><![CDATA[While my &#8220;mom and dad&#8221; are away in London, I&#8217;m still here in the Bay Area. I&#8217;ve moved over the East Bay where I have access to a garden and lots of treats from &#8220;grandma&#8221;. No more late nights out in the Castro for this kitty!

		<title>How Catnip Gets Cats High</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I&#8217;m not advocating the use of mind-altering substances in humans (who are actually the primary readers of this blog), I sure do love taking a couple hits of catnip every once in a while. Admittedly, I have no trouble amusing myself without catnip- breaking things, eating and sleeping take up most of my time. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wine Anxiety</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Dear Javier, 
I feel inadequate every time I go out to a dinner with business associates and my colleagues start talking about wine. Everyone seems to have something to say except for me. How can I avoid making a fool out of myself the next time I find myself in this predicament? 
Sincerely, 
Wineless in Wisconsin
 
 
 
Dear Wineless, 
Generally, when I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to stop being a &#8220;scardy cat&#8221; in public</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Javier,
I don’t know exactly when this started, but over the last few years I’ve developed a fierce aversion to crowds.
