		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s Fashion &#38; Style section of the New York Times included a well-titled tribute to the Nancy Drew mystery book series, &#8220;Nancy Drew&#8217;s Granddaughters,&#8221; and included several choice quotes from many famous and ambitious female political and social figures who read the series as a child.

With that, I am at long last up-to-date, and you (faithful readers) are brought into the present tense. I&#8217;ve omitted a few posts for dicey content (sorry) that is fine for America but poorly suited for Nepali propriety, in case my friends here ever read this, and one or two for general grumpiness (you don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
