		<title>Vivian Maier in Quebec, Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I wrote about Vivian Maier and how I had determined the exact location of a photograph she made in Quebec City at some point in the 1950s.

		<title>Vivian Maier in Quebec</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vivian Maier was a street photographer who worked in obscurity from the 1950s until she died at 83 in 2009. Her work was &#8220;discovered,&#8221; quite literally, only days before her death, and since then much has been written about her and it. If you&#8217;re not familiar with the story, this roughly ten minute video from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leonard Cohen Must Not Die!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8216;ll skip over the obvious reasons why Leonard Cohen must not die any time soon and cut to the matter at hand: Leonard Cohen must not die because people are ignoring his request for a moratorium on the song Hallelujah. Worse, most of the people who &#8220;interpret&#8221; the song seem hung up on a single [...]]]></description>

		<title>Conundrum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have not been paying much attention to the Republican Presidential primaries happening south of the border because it&#8217;s none of my business and because I can&#8217;t bear to witness such wholesale human stupidity. On the other hand, as Pierre Trudeau told the National Press Club in Washington DC in 1969, living next to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Tell One Robax from Another</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a sore back. It&#8217;s something that hits me once or twice a year due to a problem with lower back spasms. This time it&#8217;s been going on for more than a week, which is unusual. Today I was almost completely incapacitated, which is very unusual given that two days ago I thought I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Me and Merguez Sausage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Merguez sausage is one of those things I should like, but don&#8217;t really. But why not?
