		<description><![CDATA[I was recently reading this post on the postal service rate increase coming up.  Personally, I always hate to see it, but know it&#8217;s a necessary evil of the times.
However, this article in particular was really depressing.  They said the effects of the rate increase are a &#8220;drop in the bucket&#8221;.  I [...]]]></description>

He, like all of us, lament that letter writing is less-and-less a part of our daily lives.  This concerto utilizes real letters which are read and integrated into the [...]]]></description>

Since it&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Day I was off work and spent time catching up on my online reading.
