		<description><![CDATA[Is there such a thing as Adult-Onset Motor Dyslexia? Because I think I&#8217;ve got it. Lately it seems like there&#8217;s a crossed wire in my cortex that is turning every day into Opposite Day, at least as far as my hands are concerned. They seem to be diametrically opposed to my wishes.

I was happy with the results. It was almost the perfect haircut. Almost.

		<description><![CDATA[During this morning&#8217;s shower, I read the back label on a tube of Nair (no, it isn&#8217;t mine). Besides the direction for use, there were warnings against using it in predictably sensitive areas: around the eyes, the perianal area, the genitals, and &#8220;breast nipples&#8221;.
I had to read it again to make sure I hadn&#8217;t misread [...]]]></description>

As usual, I was called on to be the uke for students demonstrating their self-defense skills in front of the panel of black-belt instructors. This inevitably ends up with me getting a taste of the floor at some point, or, in [...]]]></description>
