		<title>Productive!</title>

I also continued on with the core form for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sick!</title>

		<title>A Wollmeise Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The big event this weekend was that my sister&#8217;s package arrived. Stephanie took a trip to the Wollmeise shop in Pfaffenhofen earlier this year and, for a lack of a better word, went nuts, buying lots and lots of this wonderful yarn for the both of us. Now, my share of the loot has arrived [...]]]></description>

		<title>Birthday Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We left around 6 AM on Saturday morning for the Grand Canyon. John was really worried about the weather because a lot of snow was expected at the South Rim but we arrived just fine, although the last miles were tense for him.

		<title>Company Christmas Party</title>

Some years the firm rented a restaurant space, two years we tried [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weather! In Phoenix!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been raining most of the day which is rare in Phoenix. Usually it rains for a short time in a small area then stops.
