		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m very, very excited about the business opportunities in the Pacific areas &#8211; Hawai&#8217;i, Guam, Micronesia, and maybe more. OK, I haven&#8217;t written in a while. The big reason is personal &#8211; I keep getting a lot of crap whenever I write anything that reveals what I think about what&#8217;s going on in my life.

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight was my first serious tornado warning. The sirens were wailing, the rain was falling, and the lightning regularly lit up the low overhead clouds. I, of course, was outside, looking for the circling cone, or at least the reported baseball-sized hail. What else did I have to do? My new episode of Lost was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I joined Classmates years ago as a way of hooking up with old friends, and the site enticed me to do so by offering free benefits. But lately I&#8217;m come to suspect their motives and business practices. They don&#8217;t seem to be advertising-supported (of course, how would I know? I use Adblock), so they must [...]]]></description>

It was a cold, clear night, and viewing by the naked eye was probably as best as it could get (unless [...]]]></description>

Current meatspace coordinates: 32.8791, -105.9609 I can&#8217;t even remember how to plug in the Google map, or the xhtml code for the degree sign.

The request was not condemning, but firm. I was given a rationale as to why I should remove it, and I found myself agreeing with it. I had crossed the [...]]]></description>
