		<title>Brevity Remix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was visiting my brother&#8217;s family in LA last weekend, and they were hosting some old family friends from Australia, and I really enjoyed the company. We paid a visit to the Getty Villa in Malibu and I surprised myself by really enjoying it.
Rodd, on my request, presented me with a signed copy of his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ruminations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m very, very excited about the business opportunities in the Pacific areas - Hawai&#8217;i, Guam, Micronesia, and maybe more.
OK, I haven&#8217;t written in a while. The big reason is personal - 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. So [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the Path of the Tornado</title>
		<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 preempted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Letter to Pat - Re: Can&#8217;t put the guitar down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pat,
It&#8217;s 2:00 am and I&#8217;m trying so hard to put down the guitar and go to bed, but I keep picking it back up again.
I&#8217;ve heard you talk about the experience of breaking through a barrier and suddenly you reach a whole new level - well, I&#8217;ve just had my first one tonight. I haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Classmates Guestbook</title>
		<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>

		<title>Astronomy Therapy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of nights ago I had an awful lot on my mind, and despite thinking that I really needed to go to bed and get some sleep, I went outside and looked up.
It was a cold, clear night, and viewing by the naked eye was probably as best as it could get (unless you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Melanoma Contact</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With everything going on in my life, there is apparently still something that will make me drop everything else and respond.
Hi there. I just read your page on mpip.org. I hope you are still NED!!! That is encourging. My 34 year old sister was just diagnosed in Sept and has just started her shots at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dwarf????</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of my old D&#038;D buddies did it, so I tried it too. I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m impressed with the result. I&#8217;m guessing warrior-types have to have been jocks in high school:
I Am A: Neutral Good Dwarf Sorcerer (6th Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-15
Dexterity-12
Constitution-14
Intelligence-16
Wisdom-13
Charisma-15

		<title>Left My Cell Phone Behind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a couple of weeks back in the San Diego office, it was time to go do my Road Warrior bit again. The company Christmas party was Saturday night, and early the next morning I drove the borrowed pool vehicle back to the office to drop it off. I might have been a little hung [...]]]></description>

		<title>Killed Plugin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got a report of extremely slow load times for my blog, something to do with scripting, that locked up the browser. At first I thought it was Internet Explorer, but when I checked it myself, it was even worse on SeaMonkey (the latest in the Netscape Navigator - Mozilla evolution, and my preferred browser.)
