		<title>A Few Thoughts on Sushi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My cousin&#8217;s post about eating her first sushi made me reflect on the few things I&#8217;ve learned about sushi in my life:
1. Eat something else before you eat sushi.
Sushi is not meant to fill you up and make you feel satiated.  That is what chicken fried steak is for.  Sushi is made to give you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry I missed a few episodes.  Since there was  such an uprising on the web, and since you ALL missed my posts so much, I thought I&#8217;d grace you with my unvarnished opinion on these here girls&#8230;

Katie
Katie didn&#8217;t do herself any favors tonight.  I think her performance is quite forgettable, and I certainly have no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What were you thinking!&#8221;  Is the oft-uttered phrase of adults talking to teenagers.
This story on NPR reveals research that shows: nope&#8230; teenagers actually aren&#8217;t thinking!

		<title>Top 12 Boys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A2 is convinced, even before we begin tonight, that the men are all crappy this year.  She doesn&#8217;t have a single preseason favorite.

Todrick
The man does know how to work a stage.  I wasn&#8217;t a huge fan of the rework of the Brittany Spears song as his big breakout, mostly because there wasn&#8217;t a lot of singing in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Conan&#8217;s On Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Conan opened a twitter account yesterday and instantly has more than 250,000 followers.

His bio states: &#8220;I had a show. Then I had a different show. Now I have a Twitter account.&#8221;
Yes, that pretty much sums it up.
This twitter account coupled with the spike in ratings during the recent NBC late night meltdown really proves only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top 12 Girls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, here we are folks.  A new season of American Idol.  Besides the awkward, forced comedy bit at the beginning between Ellen and Simon, Ellen isn&#8217;t a terrible judge.  She&#8217;s obviously judging from the paradigm of total-stage-presence, though, as she is just doesn&#8217;t have the ear for the vocals.
Here are my first impressions of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Like a Phoenix From the Ashes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like a phoenix from the ashes, I rise again to blog&#8230;
&#8230;Renewed in spirit, and with fresh new opinions to opine&#8230;
&#8230;Unashamed of even the most poorly-researched commentary&#8230;
&#8230;and unafraid of being lampooned, harassed, technologically abused, and left for dead.
Here&#8217;s a quick smattering of topics to get us up to speed:
Politics: 
Congress now has a &#8220;jobs agenda&#8221; instead [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neglected</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This blog has been sadly neglected.
Excuses:

A2 has been sick, so I&#8217;ve been focused on barking at her that she&#8217;s not drinking enough fluids.  She, for her part, is putting Vicks vapor rub on her feet in order to keep from coughing at night.  Does this sound completely illogical to anyone else but me?
Work has been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Retirement Planning: To Roth or Not to Roth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So Mrs. Brows and I spent last Saturday working on our finances, fixing our budget for this year, and trying to predict the future.  In the process, we started talking about our retirement savings strategies.

I introduced her to Suze Orman&#8217;s Retirement Roadmap which Suze presented on her show last November or December.  In it, she [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lord&#8217;s Prayer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently sang The Lord&#8217;s Prayer at a wedding.  I&#8217;m no pro, but I still like singing.
Seems appropriate for Sunday.

* Note: You will want to listen to this with good speakers with a sub woofer (for the organ).  It sounds pretty crappy on laptop speakers.

		<title>Outlandish Want: Retirement by Fifty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I always joke about retiring by age forty.  How nice would it be to not have to formally work at anything for the rest of your life?  Or any of your life, for that matter?

The thing is, I have a bunch of jobs and projects I want to do on my own time.  I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Outlandish Want: My Own Private Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
After working for weeks on end in a fabric covered container, with no vacation in sight or in recent memory, sometimes you just wish you had your own private island.
Granted, my island would have more sandy beaches than this, but this picture is a start.  I want to open my large sliding doors and windows [...]]]></description>

I want a Tesla Model S

This car is the second car from a new technology/car company, Tesla, who is focused solely on developing electric vehicle (EV) technology.  The first Model S is supposed to roll of [...]]]></description>

		<title>State of the Union</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Well, it was President Obama&#8217;s first State of the Union address, and he did an impeccable job.  He wittily strayed off the speech in places, noting out loud when he expected more Republican applause.
His emotional conclusion characterized the collective humanity and giving spirit that makes America great.
He only stepped in it in one place, [...]]]></description>

In what universe is Vin Diesel more popular than Barack Obama?  For reals?  I can understand Michael Jackson being #1&#8230; but Vin Diesel as #3?  I&#8217;m surprised&#8230;
This is a throwback to high school.  For most people who aren&#8217;t caught up in the high school experience, on the surface it [...]]]></description>
