		<description><![CDATA[If your child is entering college this year, it’s a huge milestone — for you and for him.

		<description><![CDATA[I was recently sent a review copy of the book Geek Dad by Ken Denmead, editor of the blog of the same name on Wired magazine&#8217;s website. At first I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect &#8212; would these be projects that only computer hackers and programmers could hope to pull off? But the truth is, [...]]]></description>

This past weekend, for example, Barry and I experienced a breakthrough in our relationship that came just when we were taking a plunge down the roller coaster ride of life. We felt like we were going to keep racing further down… and instead we took a sharp [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a Glue Dots Summer Bonding Project for Konan and I to do together, I decided that a collage celebrating wealth and his heritage would be a good idea. It was quick, easy, creative, symbolic, looks good, and it&#8217;s something that he was able to do nearly all by himself. As a 20-month-old toddler, projects [...]]]></description>

Part of the outing included going down to the river&#8217;s edge to see the families of geese that always hang out there. I always smile at the fact that the local goose is the Canada goose.

And Parenting, and BabyTalk&#8230; they&#8217;re some of my favorite reading materials for getting tips, ideas and advice on raising Konan. But sometimes I&#8217;m just amazed at what makes it into the magazines under the guise of balanced journalism.
