		<description><![CDATA[There was a time, a few years back, when Griffin would not allow us to use the word &#8220;joshing.&#8221; Kidding, teasing, joking, ribbing, making fun were all okay. But he would go ballistic if we told him we were just joshing with him.  To this day I never use the word. To be honest, I [...]]]></description>

Right now I am oozing and coughing germs all over my screen and key board.  Regular readers know that, basically, all my internal organs are in a state of fairly rapid entropy for a 46 year old guy. However, I rarely get a cold. Got one [...]]]></description>

Nope, it was a refund from our state run prepaid college plan. I cried when I saw it.  The only time in my life that I’ve cried while holding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hate small talk. Absolutely despise it.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong; I love to pontificate, orate, toot my own horn, brag, whine, complain, and preach.  However, those meaningless conversations about nothing that we all find ourselves in from time to time drive me batty. I&#8217;m just a jerk that way. Plain and simple. Antisocial pig. [...]]]></description>

After the age of the mullet, but before the diagnosis, therapies and mourning over dreams that would never be realized.  After Nirvana but before the elevator videos, Wilford Brimley, and bizarre stims became our world.

		<description><![CDATA[Griffin has a great sense of humor. He usually doesn’t tell jokes, but he acts silly for a laugh and he understands sarcasm.

		<description><![CDATA[Griffin is obsessed with living a long life.  He has determined that he will live to 93.  This, according to him, is not a goal.  Rather it is a forgone conclusion.  I hope he’s right.  The interesting part is he seems to eschew conventional wisdom as to how one reaches a ripe old age. .
