					<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, August 8th, was Escape Adulthood Day. You won&#8217;t find it on any calendar, unless it&#8217;s a Celebrate Everything calendar (the 2027 edition is coming soon!) We invented it because the idea that you can&#8217;t make up your own holidays is&#160;a rule that doesn&#8217;t exist. It coincides with the launch of our website and the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Every single airplane was grounded by the storms surrounding the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. I wasn&#8217;t worried. Kim and I had a three-hour layover in Detroit. Plenty of cushion! We sat on the plane for over an hour before the storm passed. Then the pilot came on to tell us that our fuel tanks were too [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Twenty-five years ago, before kids, when Kim and I were living on Hamburger Helper and couldn&#8217;t afford to run the air conditioning in our apartment, I made a list. It answered one question: How will I know that I&#8217;ve made it? I felt like I was already a success for deciding to chase the dream [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve said it before, and I&#8217;ll say it again:&#160;Adults are ruining everything. Exhibit A is the art of collecting. Take baseball cards. At the risk of sounding like Grandpa Simpson, when I was a kid, packs cost fifty cents and came with fifteen cards. My brothers and I rode our bikes to the card shop [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Attention all members of The Collector Club! There are nearly as many ways to store, display, and enjoy your collection as there are collectors! (Adultitis Fighters tend to be a very creative bunch.) We love these beautiful self-standing acrylic magnet frames, and how easy it is to swap artwork to match your mood or season.

How many sleeps till vacation? How many sleeps till the cousins come over? Although it&#8217;s an alternative measurement of time — most old people tend to use the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What are your earliest memories of receiving mail? A few magical ones come to mind for me. I got occasional greeting cards from great aunts and relatives who lived far away. The sentiment wasn&#8217;t as important as whether or not cash fell out when I opened the card. Still, it was always a thrill to [&#8230;]]]></description>

He recently graduated from the “comfort blanket of college and chucked towards the open jaws of real life.&#8221; He was hoping to receive guidance for young people in his situation to &#8220;make the world outside not seem so threatening and overwhelming.&#8221; The first step is [&#8230;]]]></description>
