		<title>Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of churches in San Francisco—the city leaves Adelaide in its religious architectural wake—but only one of them held any interest for me when I was there last week. Uncharacteristic though it may be for me to actively seek out a house of worship, this one seemed a worthy exception: Mission San [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Then you get on the plane. The pilot&#039;s always got to come on the PA system. Give you his whole thing of what he&#039;s gonna do. &#034;And here&#039;s how I&#039;m gonna do it. I&#039;m gonna take it up to twenty thousand. Then I&#039;m gonna make a left by Chicago.

		<title>Leaving on a Jet Plane</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I finished reading Christopher Hitchens&#039;s memoir, Hitch-22, and in about seven hours I will be boarding a plane bound for San Francisco. (Actually, I will be boarding a plane bound for Brisbane, and much to my chagrin, too. A week before I booked my flights, there were still a number of direct services available [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Generation Gap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I showed Raging Bull&#039;s famous bout between Jake La Motta and Sugar Ray Robinson (&#034;You never got me down, Ray&#034;), to a group of Catholic school students and felt it made perfect sense to them. Today I showed the same sequence to a group of Lutheran students and felt it made no sense to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moonrise, Port MacDonnell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My parents recently moved into their new home in Port MacDonnell, which they&#039;ve been planning and building for a couple of years now. It&#039;s a huge place—much larger than the spacious home I grew up in—ridiculous, as I have taken to saying, in both size and amenity. In fact, it&#039;s essentially two houses, the one [...]]]></description>

I was very lucky to have had five weeks of annual leave that needed to be taken before the end of the financial year, the resultant lump sum helping [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Next Step</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, I gave notice at The Australian, advising that June 19 would be my last day on the paper. However, I am on annual leave until then, which is why I am writing this in Port MacDonnell, South Australia, and why, by the time June 19 actually rolls around, I won&#039;t even even be [...]]]></description>
