		<description><![CDATA[This site has languished for months. It&#8217;s not that there has been nothing to write about; with everything going on in the Arab world and analogous developments in the U.S., there is a TON I have started writing, at least in my mind if not here or on paper.

Peter and I worked together in Costa Rica and Nicaragua during the turbulent 1980&#8217;s. Peter´s mother was visiting too, so I began a needed [&#8230;]]]></description>
