		<description><![CDATA[.&#8230;from last week&#8217;s Creative Loafing. Human beings don’t have the best collective memory – we tend to look back on our history and remember only the good times. We are not inclined to dwell on or think about the cruelty and shortsightedness in our past actions, regrettable music interests and fashion faux pas. We sometimes conveniently [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;from Saturday&#8217;s Tampa Tribune. Whatever happened to just hanging out? I remember when three friends, a keg, and cable television meant one heck of a party. Nowadays, social gatherings are themed and weird. Some themes are okay. For every Pampered Chef or Smelly Candle Gathering, there is a Passion Party where I learn about love toys [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;from yesterday&#8217;s Tampa Tribune. Older folks have been known to fret over a few things. For example, they lament the loss of traditional experiences when subsequent generations no longer find them important. These experiences include, but are not limited to, walking fourteen miles uphill in the snow, sexual harassment in the workplace, and pantyhose. My [...]]]></description>

A teeth whitening-strips wearing, grey-hair dyeing, water-aerobics attending liar. Women enjoy getting hit on, flirted with, and approached by other men. Period. End of story.
