		<description><![CDATA[Wow, it&#8217;s been almost a year since I posted anything on this blog, and what a year it&#8217;s been!! 2010 has finally said it&#8217;s goodbyes, never to return.

		<description><![CDATA[One of my new year resolutions has been to reclaim some old good habits, one being the habit of pleasure reading.

However, starting this year I plan to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know that&#8217;s a weird title but the truth of it just occurred to me a few seconds ago! I have come to the realization that productivity tools -  calenders, to-do lists, alarms, reminders, etc. ARE helpful for me, just like they have been proven to be for many people.  They&#8217;re not just for &#8216;other&#8217; [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s 1.86411358 miles.  That&#8217;s more like it. It was nice and cool, not too windy, just perfect.  So Thursday evening, Mary and I went to the WHYY building and collected [...]]]></description>
