		<title>Back pain is the worst!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now I have pulled a muscle in my lower back before, which has resulted in a lot of pain, even an inability to move, but at least in those cases, when I curl up in the fetal position, and don't move, the pain goes away.

		<title>Pressure&#8217;s off for another year!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We made it through our AS9100 audit at work, much easier than I had expected.
This has always been the most stressful time of the year for me, so it shouldn&#8217;t take much imagination to understand how relieved I am the audit is over, and I can finally get back to my normal routine.
Anywaze, Edie came [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autumn is approaching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can tell, not because it&#8217;s August, but because it&#8217;s 6 AM, and it&#8217;s barely light outside.
I can remember not too long ago, easily getting up at 5:30 AM, because it was already bright outside, and the sun was shining.  Lately though, I&#8217;m barely able to drag myself out of bed at 6 AM, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Scotty&#8221; Lost in space</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Growing up when the original Star Trek series, starring William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, was being aired, and never having missed an episode, I can&#8217;t help feeling some remorse, learning the ashes of Montgomery &#8220;Scotty&#8221; Scott were lost in the failed launch of the Space X rocket Saturday.

		<title>The Last Lecture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;re diagnosed with a terminal illness, and given 3 to 6 months to live.  How do you respond?
I&#8217;d like to think I&#8217;ve responded in a positive manner, and I&#8217;ve tried to inspire others into realizing exactly what they have, and how to get the most out of life, but I&#8217;m really not much of a [...]]]></description>
