		<description><![CDATA[With the Westminster Dog Show just around the corner starting Feb. 15, I am reminded of Uno, the most famous beagle in the world after his improbable victory as best of show winner in the 2008.
For my money, Rusty the Wonder Dog is every bit his equal. Wonder Dog, as in &#8220;I wonder what he [...]]]></description>

I am referring to my annual Christmas column. At least the one I used to write when I was the editor of a North Florida community newspaper. It was about Christmases past and present and contained images that ranged in my mind from the good, the [...]]]></description>

Good for him. I hope it works. I would hate to see the Jaguars move to another city. It may take longer than anyone [...]]]></description>

I know; I know. How can a supposedly &#8220;retired&#8221; person be too busy to write a column at least once a week? Let me count the ways.

I&#8217;m usually taken aback by the question because I don&#8217;t consider myself retired.  It is true that I don&#8217;t have a job, that I am 65, that I receive a Social Security check every month and that I have not gotten a job interview since I was [...]]]></description>

Tuesday, May 5, is my birthday, and while that doesn&#8217;t have anything directly to do with this story, I mention it as a way of telling you that the month leading up to the 65th celebration of my birth has been enormously satisfying — and possibly even life-changing. More about that later. Right [...]]]></description>

Not that there is any doubt about which car will win, is there? I mean, who [...]]]></description>
