		<title>Beaver Island Homecoming Weekend</title>

		<title>bad bad blogger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so I&#8217;ve been absent . Seems that writing a book has caused me to run out of words. In any case&#8230;.spent yesterday beta testing a new Kayaking Wine Tour day trip with a crew from local media, wineries, DNR and guides. Weather forecast was abysmal and it turned out to be sublime.

		<title>Writing a book&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This whole writing/editing/proofing thing is like a two week root canal.  Nigel Foster said it was like trying to tame a many legged animal&#8230;.and he was spot-on. Or maybe like passing a kidney stone.  In any case, I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll feel much better when its over.  Get to put some of it to work on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flying Chicken Bus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its 4 am and in retrospect, I’m think that arriving back in the US from mananaland aboard Taca’s flying chicken bus in the wee hours is a good thing. Maybe it’ll keep me from grinding gears into a soul crunching upshift into a high speed, 4 G-force pace of life. Need to merge into that [...]]]></description>
