		<description><![CDATA[I just read Christopher Moore&#8217;s book, &#8220;Practical Demonkeeping.&#8221; It was a great little read. Think &#8220;Stephen King or Neil Gaiman with some of the seriousness replaced with humor&#8221; and that&#8217;s what you get. I believe this was Moore&#8217;s first published work, released in 1992. It mixes old legends and mysticism with a great plot that, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been sticking with the Medifast plan since June 13. As of today, I&#8217;m down about seven pounds. It&#8217;s been surprisingly easy, and the toughest part has been the hour just before dinner, when I&#8217;ve been very hungry and concerned that there wouldn&#8217;t be enough food to satisfy me. Fortunately, this is not the case, [...]]]></description>

We are doing the Medifast plan, a diet that consists of a lot of pre-packaged foods (shakes, soups, etc.) with minimal preparation required. Each of the foods [...]]]></description>
