This growing old is not a passage she appreciates. She&#8217;d rather [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It wasn&#8217;t a difficult couple of hours. Today, we were simply pushing paper. The files had already been sorted and depleted during a less savage culling before the move. No, it wasn&#8217;t that difficult to divide the old from the new, the freshly prepared documents so much whiter and less dog-eared than the earlier versions. [...]]]></description>
