		<description><![CDATA[For some species, winter is a time of hibernation. And even though we don&#8217;t hibernate (most of us, that is), our rhythms do change: the days are shorter, we stay inside more, we&#8217;re less active. I think it&#8217;s fitting that winter is also when we end one year and begin the next. What better time [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=turnontolife.wordpress.com&blog=485655&post=33&subd=turnontolife&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I tell you, country clubs and cemeteries are the biggest wasters of prime real estate.&#8221; So says Rodney Dangerfield&#8217;s character, an obnoxious land baron, in the 1980 movie Caddyshack.
I haven&#8217;t really thought too much about cemeteries, but I have mixed feelings about country clubs.
I live in a house that borders Gardiner&#8217;s Bay Country Club, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=turnontolife.wordpress.com&blog=485655&post=32&subd=turnontolife&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, it only takes a little imagination to turn your world upside down.
Sometimes I&#8217;ll lie down on the ground facing the sky and pretend that down is up and up is down. I imagine some magnetic force is holding me to the &#8220;ceiling,&#8221; and if it were to let go, I would [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=turnontolife.wordpress.com&blog=485655&post=30&subd=turnontolife&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a friend who says you&#8217;re either a dog person or you&#8217;re not. Given only those two options, then I would have to say I&#8217;m not a dog person.
I didn&#8217;t grow up with a pet dog. I never learned to love a dog like it was a part of the family. So I haven&#8217;t [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=turnontolife.wordpress.com&blog=485655&post=31&subd=turnontolife&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Driving to the Post Office the other day to get my mail, I started to think about the price we pay to live on Shelter Island, especially in time. No mail delivery. Time. No garbage pickup. More time. To leave the island or return to it, we have to wait in line for a ferry.

		<description><![CDATA[People are often surprised when I tell them I live on Shelter Island.
“I haven&#8217;t seen you before,” they say. “Did you just move here recently?”
“No, I&#8217;ve lived here for eight years.”
“Eight years?!”
I don&#8217;t have anything against my fellow Shelter Islanders, and I love people&#8211;I have lots of family and friends up-island&#8211;but here on Shelter Island [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=turnontolife.wordpress.com&blog=485655&post=28&subd=turnontolife&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
