 And I&#8217;ll be your friend
I&#8217;ll help you carry on
For it won&#8217;t be long
&#8216;Til I&#8217;m gonna need
Somebody to lean on
My father loved to help people.  He was social, loved people, and always did anything he could to help everyone around him.  He helped my mom&#8217;s sisters in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In high school, I loved band.  Both class, and the extra-curriculars.  I spent my evenings practicing scales and sight-reading, and my breaks at school rehearsing solos.  I signed out that clarinet so often that at some point I started to sign my name as &#8220;Clarinet&#8221; Ursabia and didn&#8217;t even notice.  (The music [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;There are two women in Bingham&#8217;s life. Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga) is also a road warrior, and for some time they&#8217;ve been meeting in dreary “Suite” hotels in East Moses, Nowhere — having meals, making love, play-acting at being the happy couple neither one will commit to. Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick) is a bright, ambitious [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t know if I like to do this but this is certainly what I do when I&#8217;m unsure of what choice to make, i.e. when all options seem equivalently as good based on the knowledge that I have at that point in time.  [...]]]></description>
