		<description>&lt;p&gt;Did you weigh yourself on the same scale every day in a constant temperature environment, naked, with completely dry skin and hair, right after having gone to the bathroom, and receiving a consistent hair cut?  (i.e. These very small fluctuations may have been caused by nothing more than unpredictable &quot;random&quot; variation.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try plotting your weight over the holiday season to see if you can observe a meanful trend over time for that period.  A more useful approach may also be to correlate your change in weight with your exact caloric intake and amount of exercise.  This will give you a good measure of how your body responds to various levels of activity and food intake, but keeping meticulous track of all this information is totally not worth the effort:)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;This was interesting - though the part headlined &quot;nuclear scenario&quot; was a bit of a letdown.  I thought I was about to be treated to an analysis of what vehicle might serve best in the event of a radioactive apocalypse.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey! Wow what a great addition to your lovely family! I just love Esther asking Katya how she&#039;s doing, too too adorable! I also love Katya rooting around making cute faces! I am so glad all is going well and can&#039;t wait to see all of you when I get back to Madison (around Christmas, maybe coming back for a week). Take care and will keep all of you in my prayers! Much love from NYC, Erin&lt;/p&gt;
