  <about><![CDATA[Born between paternal oratory and sudden maternal madness; somewhere north of the condor and south of raven.  Crow sometimes cawed morning into malady's mixture, pouring song and hack into bleating skies, swirling sunrise and set.  Once, high over the arctic, she witnessed the pounding lights hammer horizon.  Since that time her rendezvous with realtime has been a real ride.  Her sons rise and set as though she was of purpose and her grandchildren bring her all good things in life.
