		<description><![CDATA[I took the occassion of Christmas break to clean my room. Aside from the various novelties acquired during an active childhood that required sorting, I discovered a number of letters. Among them was one dated November 8, 1990 from an Eddie Brewer. By some surreptitious scheme, this note had escaped similar cleaning operations mounted over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I posted pictures from my first day in Cairo (5/25), but have had a terrible time with network connections here recently. We frequently have outages here, the last of which occurred in October. A ship sank in the Indian Ocean and happened to cut the fiber between here and southeast asia. It took weeks to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Wednesday I attended a cricket match for the first time. Previously I had rejected this game as an idle pastime. On television, I had seen nothing but celebration punctuated by tea breaks. Further, the games can last up to seven days, a taxing period for someone with Generational Attention Deficit Disorder (GADD). I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andy sent along some additional pictures from Oman. These differ from the rest in that I appear in them. So far I have been loathe to pose before this rock or that animal; such contrivances make me feel stupid and maybe a little Japanese. I haven&#8217;t traveled much over the past month, electing instead to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Again, I have made infrequent posts over the last few weeks. I have devoted considerable time to both running and diving. The marathon is one week from today; after I finish, I will write on a variety of topics. I&#8217;ve got a long list of things to work on, including this cartoon issue. Have another [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I haven&#8217;t attended to this site with much regularity over the past month, have I? I arrived on Jan. 3 after a much needed rest at home. My intent was to rest on Wednesday and Thursday and then run the Dubai Marathon on the Friday, the 6th. I awoke Wednesday morning with no trace [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hamilton first argues against the popular theory&#8211;originating in Montesquieu&#8211;that the colonies&#8217; size precludes effective republican government. In lesser known writings, Montesquieu had promoted the &#8220;confederate republic&#8221; as an effective remedy to this defect. Municipalities and states cede certain powers while retaining the authority to nominate legislative and judicial representatives. Thus local governments secure a measure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not much news to report this week. I ran an awful half-marathon Friday morning; thankfully I still have a few weeks before Dubai. Bradford made some excellent comments in a recent email: As of now (your Nov 3 post) your deepest shared observations have been about your experience in a new place, but that new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bradford sent a helpful email last week in which he suggested that I attempt a more synthetic understanding of my experience here. He correctly observed that I have thus far reduced the environment to the &#8220;least common denominator.&#8221; While my method has been disorganized and informal, to an extent this judgement is correct. Maybe that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
