		<title>Colonblow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My brother Matt and I have a great relationship. While he&#8217;s currently in the Navy he worked for me for several years.
We installed A/V systems in places like Albertsons, Hooters &#38; Anchor Blue. Everywhere we went we ran into characters.
While I am clearly the seasoned veteran, having started in 1976, Matt brought a certain charm [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still Crazy After All These Years!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Monday Rick and I celebrated seven years of marriage. Our anniversary also marks the nine year anniversary of the day he told me that he loves me. It was an unusual event only because the way that he told me I actually thought he was breaking up with me. But then, when he asked me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maisy and Mayhem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cory is now 4 1/2 and he is beside me watching Maisy, a cartoon we discovered on our train trip north to Santa Ynez in 2005. We were at our wits end with him; we had mistakenly thought he would be so enthralled at being on a train that he would sit staring out the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Conundrum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why is it, that as a woman enters midlife and is most susceptible to those hormonal impulses to do harm, that her partner, also entering midlife, is most prone to say and do some of the most stupid things?  It&#8217;s as if God is ensuring that we won&#8217;t overpopulate the earth, one way or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Politics of Fear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	We have been hearing about how it&#8217;s time for change. &#8220;We need to end the politics of fear.&#8221;  I was listening to an interview of a man who said he was voting for Obama. He, like so many, seemed invigorated. The words almost caught in his throat as he said it was time for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Mourning Mind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    As we approach what would be my father&#8217;s 81st birthday, my mother and I find ourselves discussing what was  happening around the time that he passed, and I learned something I had not known or had forgotten in the blur of activity following his passing ~ he died just 9 days before September [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cult of Personality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    Watching the debates, it is obvious who the media darlings are, whom they hate and which way they swing, as they sway the public opinion to their way of thinking in this, their Cult of Personality.  They demolish and slander the ones they dislike, turning the tiniest remarks against their targeted candidate, twisting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Complicit Media?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    We were not surprised when Senator Clinton commented last night on the fact that she always gets the first questions ~ which of course then gives Obama the opportunity to ride on her coat/skirt tails when he responds to the same question. That the moderators appear to be complicit is what offends us.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Significance of My Picture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    I wasn&#8217;t too thrilled at first, when I saw that Rick had chosen my photo to replace the header for our family Blog. I won&#8217;t even go into his comment that he needed a wide photo, too many puns!  I immediately began searching out a photo of Cory or at [...]]]></description>
