		<description><![CDATA[Two years ago, when I got my DroidX, I was all excited. The thought of being able to log on to the internet where ever I was, and having access to GPS, my Kindle books, a camera etc. all in one convenient place, seemed intriguing, maybe even necessary and important.

		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking last night (I do that whenever I have trouble sleeping), and I've come to the realization, in the nearly 10 years since my diagnosis with MCL (when I was personally awoken to the issue of cancer), there has been a lot of research done, and too many to fathom clinical trials performed, yet there has been very little]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I blogged on this topic about a year ago, but after watching the video below, and considering everything going on in the country now, I thought it was worth repeating. I even learned a few things I didn&#8217;t know before. Admittedly it isn&#8217;t much, but it is something, and &#8216;you never know&#8217;.

Others just think they don&#8217;t work. That&#8217;s one reason I stopped working. Two people in the office didn&#8217;t believe they worked.

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I discovered I had been de-friended by one of my friends on Facebook. It appears a comment I made on a recent post of his did not go over as intended. I only meant it in jest, but obviously he didn&#8217;t see it that way. This isn&#8217;t the first time I&#8217;ve pissed off <a href='http://livingwithmcl.com/2011/07/25/ive-been-defriended/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

It appears the AARP no longer considers Social Security sacrosanct, and is dropping its longstanding opposition to cutting Social Security benefits.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, if you&#8217;re like me, you watched the 60 Minutes interview with Tyler Hamilton Sunday night, and like me, you&#8217;re probably even more confused now than ever. Did he, or didn&#8217;t he? That is the question. Tyler&#8217;s accusations of doping are certainly compelling, but just because he admitted to doping, doesn&#8217;t mean Lance did as <a href='http://livingwithmcl.com/2011/05/23/say-it-aint-so-lance/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
