Fans of my Surfnetkids Facebook wall got a few laughs trying to guess what kind of animal these came from. Facebook fans will also get a chance to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year! I am both fascinated and appalled by New Year’s resolutions. I do not usually make them, because for the most part I think they are ineffective. On the other hand, I do strive to better myself every year, and am always interested in hearing how others are pursuing their goals. Did you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good news from the Harvard School of Public Health. Coffee-drinking women reduce their risk of depression with every cup. And women who drink four cups of caffeinated coffee a day, are 20% less likely to suffer from depression. Woo hoo!! Does this make my De&#8217;Longhi Espresso maker a deductible medical expense?
