		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow morning I&#8217;m going to do something I haven&#8217;t done in a very long time.  I&#8217;m going to get up a little early, and I&#8217;m going to do ritual before I go to work.  Over the last few days, I&#8217;ve realized that fear has been keeping me from taking the next step into the unknown.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the not too distant past, I&#8217;ve talked about why my life changed.  The first couple weeks after were really intense, discovering all the differences.  Now that some time has passed, things are settling down some.  I&#8217;m settling down some.  And I&#8217;m noticing some things that I didn&#8217;t notice before, may not have noticed before.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who haven&#8217;t heard, I got my motorcycle fixed recently. Yay!  I&#8217;m very happy about it.  For those of you who haven&#8217;t experienced it, riding a motorcycle can be one of the greatest feelings in the world.  In a car, you watch the outside world go by like so much scenery.  On [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Change is in the air.  Okay, it&#8217;s always in the air - it&#8217;s inevitable. I&#8217;m still discovering changes from the events of a month and a half ago.  The one I want to talk about tonight is the sudden urge to complete things.  For those of you who know me well, this will come as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of my friends lately seem to be going through hard times - deaths in the family, unhappy marriages, crappy jobs, medical issues - it seems to be swirling around me.  I too, have seen my fair share of dilemmas of late, though perhaps less severe than my friends are experiencing.  In the past, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last six to twelve months, my thinking and way of looking at things has been changing.  Most of my life has been spent doing things a certain way, one that I&#8217;ve found doesn&#8217;t work for me any more.  Well, not as well as I&#8217;d like.  You see, when I&#8217;d first learn about something, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since the experience I wrote about in my last post, I&#8217;ve done a number of things that I wouldn&#8217;t have done before that.  The last couple days, that&#8217;s been on my mind a lot.  I tend to think deeply when I&#8217;m tired, and that&#8217;s not really a good thing for me, since my thoughts go [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Usually I try to think of some clever one or two word title that sort of sums up what the post is about.  I decided to change that this time.  Some of my friends are going to read this, people I see everyday at work, and maybe my daughter.  Instead of couching things behind vague [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last 3 to 4 weeks have been quite busy for me, between work, jujitsu class, and working on the garden.  Last weekend I was moving several yards of dirt around, into the garden and various parts of the yard.  Yard work is very relaxing for me.  I quit thinking about things, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite my predilection for sometimes putting my innermost thoughts on the web for public consumption, I am, at heart, an intensely private person.  I continue to resist having a Facebook account, and I can only be located on MySpace by chance, unless I tell you how to find me.  You won&#8217;t find me [...]]]></description>
