		<description><![CDATA[Contentment is hard to come by.  Just when I think I’m content, I get a phone call, or see something on TV about a kid being brutalized, or a letter from “smile train” with the picture of a distorted-faced child, and they are begging for donations.  This is just a tip of the urgent call [...]]]></description>
