		<title>leaving for home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We&#8217;re leaving Cozumel today, returning back to the cold of the midwest winter.   I&#8217;m hoping to bring a little bit of sun back with me, for that mild winter that the National Weather Service seems to predict, but the Old Farmers&#8217; Almanac refutes.  It&#8217;s a little hard to pack in my suitcase, though.  Sun is [...]]]></description>

		<title>tequila</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We went on a tour of a small tequila plantation yesterday as part of our travels yesterday.  It was very educational.
First of all, if it&#8217;s got a worm in it, it&#8217;s not tequila, it&#8217;s mezcal, which is made from the green agave plant, not the blue agave plant.
Secondly, pardon my bluntness, but after tasting good [...]]]></description>

Happy Thanksgiving from paradise.  Have a safe and peaceful holiday everyone back in the States.

Missing home terribly, despite the view from here.  Isn&#8217;t that always the way?

		<title>autumn wind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before this autumn wind
even the shadows of mountains
shudder and tremble
&#8211; Issa
The wind has taken on a definite chill.  Winter is trying to blow it&#8217;s way into the heartland.  As much as I enjoy the cold, my thoughts are somewhere else.  I&#8217;m a leaf clinging to a branch, knowing that I&#8217;ll soon be blown away from [...]]]></description>

		<title>safer cigarettes? wtf?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently Big Tobacco is trying to develop safer cigarettes. That&#8217;s right &#8220;safer&#8221; cigarettes.  Not alternative income sources that aren&#8217;t harmful to consumers.  &#8220;Safer&#8221; cigarettes.  Because people need a way to continue to feel that smoking is okay and they don&#8217;t need to quit.
Because I like watching my father, who has mild emphysema, and my mother, [...]]]></description>

		<title>travel projects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m trying to figure out what to take along with me for travel projects on my upcoming trip.  I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m going to take yarn and a crochet hook for a pair of crocheted socks.  I&#8217;ve heard stories of knitting needles in carry-ons being confiscated on trips to Mexico, so better safe than sorry.

		<title>lost weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a guest in town this weekend and tried to work this weekend, so I got nothing relaxing done.  No walking. No photography.  No knitting.
I did sneaking in some playtime on my stupid computer game, but that wasn&#8217;t relaxing, either.  With the new update, there&#8217;s character leveling to be done again, and everyone&#8217;s in [...]]]></description>

		<title>nanowrimo fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay. I know I said I probably wasn&#8217;t going to talk about nanowrimo this year, but I might as well admit defeat right now.
My job, which I try to keep out of this blog save in the most general of terms, requires me to work longer hours to meet an upcoming deadline.  There&#8217;s not going [...]]]></description>
