		<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact that people like libraries and say nice things about them, we&#8217;ve had our butts handed to us on a platter over the past few years.
We position ourselves as information professionals. However, according to a report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project, people turn to the Internet, professionals (doctors, financial experts, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[American politics is rarely something to be proud of. Cynicism, divisiveness, and appeals to our worst qualities dominate.  In recent years, we have increasingly used flimsy pretexts to justify morally bankrupt behavior. As a result, our expectations of ourselves and our image abroad have suffered greatly.
Yesterday, we reminded the world of who we can be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like most other people, I think it&#8217;s a good idea to be nice to other people. I also like it when people are nice to me (which is practically always). However, there are times when kindness strikes fear into my heart.
Last week, I heard the words I dread most &#8212; &#8220;How ya doin&#8217;? Everything OK?&#8221; [...]]]></description>

The ride hardly could have gone better. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Starting sometime last year, I started having problems with heat exhaustion on longer, more challenging rides. The funny thing is that no matter how hot it is, it&#8217;s not an issue on shorter rides (less than 100 miles). Last week, I found out why.
In preparation for the Everest Challenge, I climb Mary&#8217;s Peak 3 times [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend, I took part in the Shasta Super Century. It&#8217;s challenging, the scenery is fantastic, and its my favorite ride of the year. For the past two years, I&#8217;ve been using it as a training ride for the Everest Challenge.
A few minor snafus aside, most of the ride went well. I forgot to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, we scattered Keiko&#8217;s ashes at her favorite place to play in the whole world. It&#8217;s near the end of the beach just north of Manzanita, Oregon at the foot of Neahkannie Mountain. Even though we routinely played fetch until my arm was sore and she couldn&#8217;t stand, she always resisted when it was [...]]]></description>

This weekend we&#8217;re taking Keiko&#8217;s ashes to the beach so she can be at her favorite [...]]]></description>

Today, we don&#8217;t feel like doing anything, but one of the things I have been doing is looking at pictures of Keiko as well as the very few [...]]]></description>
