		<description><![CDATA[The sequester drama this week played out as a big flop. Ben Bernanke did his part to talk up the stock market as other Federal Reserve officials spoke voicing both dovish and hawkish tones. Stocks remained priced for perfection.

		<description><![CDATA[Sunday Grace got up at 6:30. I took her out at 6:45. She found a discarded hash brown or fish square and ate that. The weather was below freezing and snow continued to blanket the ground. I wish I had my camera for this one. Grace stood on the rise above the south pond on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Monday, stocks in Asia rose slightly. In Europe they did little. The stock market was closed in the U.S for President&#8217;s Day. Tuesday, stocks traded flat in Asia but roared up 1.1% in Europe and in the U.S. 0.7% on hope. Volume was low moderate. The VXO plummeted over 4% to the unsustainable level of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Home Alone I gave Grace a tummy rub at 6:30. We went outside at 6:50 and returned at 7:30. I fed her breakfast at 8:00 (one cup) followed by a dental chew. We went outside again at 8:30 and returned at 9:10. I told her &#8220;Bye-bye.&#8221; Betsy said she whimpered a few times when I [...]]]></description>

We found no playmates but did do a lot of sniffing and exploring the front woods. At 8:10, we returned. Grace ate her breakfast (one cup). At 8:20, I left. Grace whimpered a few times.
