		<description><![CDATA[Many of my feminist friends who have little boys have given in to the reality that their toddlers love things with wheels. While they will provide their children with a wide array of choices, wheels win out. This, of course, is perfectly fine. Wheels needn’t be branded; they just move and occasionally make noise.

		<description><![CDATA[Neil Gaiman is one the few writers who has mastered both novels and short stories. In this collection, he exercises his talents from poetry to novella, evoking the light and dark fragile things that lurk in the corner of your eye. Fragile Things was originally published in 2006, but it has been on my to-read [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=museinkca.wordpress.com&amp;blog=22429602&amp;post=176&amp;subd=museinkca&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anthony Bourdain has mellowed and matured, and I hope this is his last memoir. For the uninitiated, he is best known for Kitchen Confidential (2000), which was angry, bitter, salty, and hilarious. Medium Raw is an older, wiser, and more thoughtful book than the former chef’s first foray into non-fiction. Just as Bourdain ripped off [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=museinkca.wordpress.com&amp;blog=22429602&amp;post=175&amp;subd=museinkca&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I suspect that like many of the citizenry, I would have never had known this unless I was told by Rob Ford’s campaign.

According the the Globe and Mail only Manitoba and Ontario allow girls to compete on boys&#8217; teams. Some argue that allowing a girl to leave a girls&#8217; team diminishes that team. Hmm. In Toronto, girls&#8217; hockey teams must [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=museinkca.wordpress.com&amp;blog=22429602&amp;post=170&amp;subd=museinkca&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
