		<description><![CDATA[Today is my birthday.  According to the calendar, I am another year older. Having said that, it&#8217;s unimportant, except that I have decided to do something different today, and for the rest of my life.  I have made the decision to live my life the way I want, and today I start putting that into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Next Monday, one week from today, is my 45th birthday. The past few years I&#8217;ve spent my birthday by myself, in part because of its proximity to the passing of my late wife, and partly because it was a good excuse to be lazy for an entire day and not do anything.  In breaking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If someone were to ask me what my biggest challenge is, I would have to say it is remaining consistent over time, as my sensei has noted.  In jujitsu, this has expressed itself as the tendency to not attend class regularly.  I can give you any number of reasons why I have not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Thursday was an interesting day, way too interesting for my taste. It started out well enough, and looked to be a very promising day – until I&#8217;d been at work for about 10 minutes and the day went to hell for a while. A hell of my own making, but hell nonetheless. Today, rather [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve followed my blog over the last few months, you may recall that at times I&#8217;ve said that I had the feeling that something big was around the corner, though I was never exactly sure when it was going to get here, or what it was. Well, it&#8217;s here.  And as usual, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night was not what I would consider one of my shining moments. Lately I&#8217;ve been feeling rather discontent with certain aspects of my life, and last night it caught up with me.  Though I&#8217;m over being sick, I stayed home last night instead of going to jujitsu class.  To make matters worse, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another year, another Valentine&#8217;s Day.  I say that because to me, it was just like any other day of the year.  Since I&#8217;ve been in between relationships for a while now, it didn&#8217;t really seem like there was anything to celebrate yesterday, other than just being alive, which I try to do every [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, a lot has happened since my last update. The week of yes came and went with little fanfare, I&#8217;ve finally gotten over the sinus infection and started back to class, and I&#8217;m continuing my trek through the Android development book. Looking around the kitchen this morning, the counter is full of dirty dishes, appliances, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s midday of day 2 of the week of yes.  Just a little while ago I inadvertently committed a faux pax by saying no when invited to lunch by one of my friends, but I think I&#8217;ll survive.  It&#8217;s really the first thing I&#8217;ve been asked where I had the opportunity to say [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here we are, the end of January.  Not much has changed the last month, since I decided to do more things that make me happy. Of course, spending most of the month sick didn&#8217;t help much, and I&#8217;m still on my second round of antibiotics. But that&#8217;s just a passing thing. I&#8217;m already feeling [...]]]></description>
