Needless to say, the drop went wrong. I sealed the plans in plastic, pushed them into my grande&#8217; coffee and sat in one of the pleather chairs around the cherry laminate coffee pedestal. My contact was to be wearing a black-Tee and dark glasses, his drink to match mine &#8211; creme &#38; sugar. As per arrangement I placed my cup very close to his and waited. As per arrangement my contact picked up my cup and walked out. Perfect.

		<description><![CDATA[These are games you can play with your children on days when it&#8217;s raining. 1. How still is the water. Have your child lay down. They are the water. You are the wind. When you breathe, if they hold still &#8211; they win. If they move &#8211; you win. 2. Fox and rabbit. The child is the rabbit. If they come into the room &#8211; they are instantly caught and eaten by the fox and they lose. If they stay out of the room &#8211; the fox goes hungry and they win. 3. Stuck in rush hour traffic. Have your children sit down. They are now stuck in rush hour traffic. The first person to move loses. They should know that it helps to get really irritable. 4. Graveyard. Have your kids lay down. Tell them that they are dead people. The first one to move becomes undead and goes straight to hell.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During space travel, what shall become of human waste? Some fanciful process could convert excrement into a bio-sustaining compound like plant food, or something. Lacking such a process, astro-mealtime-output would be jettisoned as a frozen cube into the deep black of space, destined to fall into some gravitational pull, perhaps illuminating a night sky as a falling star to be wished upon by a small child.]]></description>
