		<title>The True National Religion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One day last week, I had to pay visits to three different government offices. I spent a lot of the day seated, waiting and waiting for my number to be called. Each office was similar: A casher seated behind a plexiglas window; an armed guard seemingly ill-prepared should he – God help us all --  ever have to actually use his gun; a number of sober-faced Ticos behind desks; and a much larger number of patient citizens awaiting their numbers to be called. I had forgotten to bring something I had recently purchased to avoid long waits: My own roll of numbers just like the ones you pull off from the dispenser in order to receive attention. Mine were the real thing, courtesy of the ´´Take-A-Tab´´ company. The trick is to wait until they call a ´dead´ number, that is, a number no one responds to. Then quickly and surreptitiously leaf through your Take-A-Tabs until you get the number you need. Much time can be saved employing this method; all you need is your own personal roll of numbers, but I had forgotten mine.]]></description>

		<title>What goes &#8220;CHRIT-CHRIT-CHRIT&#8221;, Licks its Eyeballs, &amp; Gives You a Stinky Piece of Tail Whenever You Try to Kill it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people don’t like bugs. The term brings up negative images of all sorts of undesirable things, both living and not. If there’s a bug in your computer program, some obscure little quirk is making your life miserable. “Don’t bug me!” means don’t annoy me. A bug can be a germ, vermin, flaw, wiretap, defect, fault, or problem. It can mean to pester or bother. My thesaurus lists only one synonym with a positive connotation, the word enthusiast. In Spanish, the word for bug, “bicho”, is often used to mean a very undesirable person.]]></description>

		<title>Orange Bread</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I originally began baking this bread as a holiday gift for the neighbors at Christmas until I sampled it for myself, and thought "This is really good!!" The other good thing in addition to its appealing flavor is you don't need to wait for holidays to make it. You can treat yourself to it any time you like.]]></description>

		<title>Constant Boshoff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Constant Boshoff  - chiropractor, conservationist, coffee farmer and owner of Rafiki - was born in German East Africa, Tanganika.  His ancestors moved to South Africa when he was a child because of "political storms over Africa", as he puts it.  Boshoff 's father was a big game hunting outfitter. Equipped with luxury tents and a portable kitchen, his father and his party would pitch their camp under the trees at night.  He watched his business grow into a very popular tourist destination for high end clients. This is the background that shaped Constant Boshoff's own trajectory in life.]]></description>

		<title>Crazy from the Heat &#8211; Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Writing humor is a cruel, nasty and thankless endeavor more times than not. Trust me because I have tried. Telling a humorous story in person to a group of people is completely different because the speaker can control the pace, the cadence, the intonation and eventually, the punch line. Writing these same words onto a page, handing it to a complete stranger, walking away and allowing the writing to convey humor on its own takes a leap of faith and a unique storytelling talent for the humorist to succeed. And Matt Casseday has pulled it off.]]></description>
