		<title>The People of the Grass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Etta is out of town, so I took some time to see films and go out to eat. As if we don&#8217;t do that together. But this was different. I am more emotionally vulnerable when I see films by myself. The first film I saw was Knuckle, at Facets Cinema. It is a documentary about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bierstube</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at Resi&#8217;s and I heard a man ask a couple what they were doing next Saturday. The woman replied, &#8220;We are celebrating Christmas with my family.&#8221; It was late January. I thought she must be kidding. I had a bratwurst sandwich and a side of German cole slaw, and read in the paper [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beyond Boughetto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s our shampoo, beyond blow dry, our flat-ironing techniques. Everybody gets three shampoos and, you know, we&#8217;re stimulating the scalp. We&#8217;re like hair doctors. You know, so, we treat your scalp, we treat your hair. It&#8217;s boughetto. You have your ghetto side, which is basically what you saw yesterday, and then you have your boughie [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jungle Eagle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He&#8217;s strong on the wing. I suddenly think this could be the last time I see him, maybe for weeks. And then, it&#8217;s the most extraordinary surprise. Look, look, look, look! He&#8217;s just come in to land. The chick. The male. Can you see him? He&#8217;s just come in, up on that branch. He&#8217;s up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Panquecito</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a dream, I was helping two ladies drag their pet young alligator down a hallway. It&#8217;s nails scraped and dragged across the floor. I explained to one lady how even at my lowest weight, I still have a band of fat around my midsection. It just won&#8217;t go away. Don&#8217;t worry about it, she [...]]]></description>

		<title>La Cacahuata</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been listening to Doug Sahm, Marcia Mello, the Violent Femmes, Austin Leonard Jones &#038; Pals, the Tornados, the Texas Tornados, Newt Gingrich (that voice!), the Barbarians, Los de Abajo, Mickey Newbury, Wild Flag, and Terry Gross. It snowed and Etta and I walked to get German food. We ate a giant pretzel with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Charles Osgood Parrot Eye</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Mesoamericans revered the seed-filled pods of the cacao tree. Aztec king Montezuma demanded his tribute in cacao beans. Ancient Mayan drawings depict ritual consumption of a chocolate drink. Yes, more than two thousand years before the Hershey bar, the original way to enjoy chocolate was as a beverage. &#8220;They thought of it like we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wildcat Country</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friends in NYC, Ethan and Annie, sent out the following tweet recently: &#8220;We can be sure that if we know a story well enough to tell it, it carries meaning for us. -Robert Filford #storytelling.&#8221; The first night in 2012 I slept in an Elvis themed motel room, across the street from Graceland. My [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alligators and Frogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dead things Etta accumulated: three alligator heads, two claws, a buffalo skull, two bunches of red chiles. I bought a dozen Hubig&#8217;s pies from the back of a truck in New Orleans and an 8 pack of Dublin Dr. Pepper from a gas station in Texas.]]></description>

		<title>Austin and Shenandoah</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Austin, Tx, we met up with my friend Austin. He was born in Texas, and has a dog named Shenandoah. We all went swimming in Barton Springs, with the salamanders. At the age of 18, 19, and 20 Austin and I both lived in Chicago. When Austin turned 19, his mom mailed him a [...]]]></description>
