		<description><![CDATA[I’m in the business of thinking.  Positive thinking.  Both personally and professionally, I study, teach, and utilize the power of thoughts and words.  Yet still, my mind takes off like a dog in heat at the first scent of temptation. At 19:00 hours, husband, anticipating the need to have sheets on the bed (he’s so [...]]]></description>

Her daughter had just ‘asked’ for a ride in the way a teenager can &#8211; with an air of entitlement and self-centerdness.
