		<description><![CDATA[Air-conditioning, wherefore art thou? Ours is a big grey lump sitting stoically on the side of the house, silently waiting to spread it’s goodness throughout our interior. However, the truth is, having the house cooled down is NOT the real reason it should be on. Colorado summers aren’t that bad, A/C is for wimps. Noise [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Job hunting is almost a full time job, but the tasks are tedious and frankly boring. I mean, if you were asked by your current employer to search through a myriad of job sites, poke through every company web site you’d like to work with looking for that perfect job description hoping that they magically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was back in college and beyond, my monthly gas budget for my car was always up in the air. At college, I spent most of my time between classes, walking. So, my old clunker sat near my dorm parking lot, for the most part. Ah, the old red Ford, I fondly remember it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, not talking about the stupid reality TV Show with Paris Hilton or Nichole Richie, I&#8217;m talking about going back to simpler way of watching TV without all the costs. We&#8217;ve killed our TV! That&#8217;s right, we no longer have a TV entertainment system like we did last week. No, I didn&#8217;t smash, destroy or [...]]]></description>

During the week, I like to catch up on news, read about new technology and get ready for the day. Right now, that ritual includes my iPhone, but&#8230; the screen is too small. In the old days —well about two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was just talking with a good friend the other night and asked if he and his wife had plans for the weekend. Without provocation, he stated, we&#8217;ll, we&#8217;re just going to hunker down. Yeah, he&#8217;s from Texas, so I fully understood the term. Hunker down is what most people are doing these days.

I mean &#8220;closet&#8221; in that it&#8217;s just been a hobby and/or passion that I&#8217;ve kind of had for years and I&#8217;ve not really talked much about it, so &#8220;in the closet&#8221; in that as a general rule, it&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>

Previously, I had purchased the first generation MBP back just months after Apple released the new model back in 2006. It&#8217;s served me well, had the mother board replaced, twice, has been dropped several times, jostled around in a back-pack, travelled as much as I did, helped [...]]]></description>

I know many know my &#8220;old&#8221; driving habits, which have  morphed, where others are still with me no matter how old and &#8220;mature&#8221; I get. To start, road raging is something that I&#8217;ve put [...]]]></description>
