		<title>Gone 75% of last 32 days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I returned from the last of my summer travels. I was only home for 8 of the past 32 nights. Here&#8217;s a picture of where I went:

July 13-16: Orlando for Blackboard Conference
July 16-22: Boston for Campus Technology Conference (after 3 days of sight-seeing)
July 22-29: Family Reunion a John Brown University
July 29-Aug 4: Home for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blog is Five Years Old</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started this blog in July 2005, a little over five years ago. It looks like I have about 500 165 posts/pages, so I&#8217;ve been averaging about one hundred thirty-three per year.
(My friend Dave pointed out that it didn&#8217;t seem like he had read that many posts. Sure enough, I counted wrong.)

		<title>Angel&#8217;s Flight is Open Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I learned two things when I went downtown L.A. on Thursday. I was down there after I visited a friend in South Pasadena and before meeting some other friends at Philippe&#8217;s. The first thing I learned is that the downtown Angel&#8217;s Flight Railway is open again. It&#8217;s the world&#8217;s shortest railroad. It closed for about 9 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trying to be Relevant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure what&#8217;s going on here. There&#8217;s a sign on a local church advertising a sermon series on the 10 commandments:

It seems like they&#8217;re trying to make the sermon series seem relevant to popular culture. The only problem is that the TV show &#8220;Father Knows Best&#8221; hasn&#8217;t been on since 1963. No one I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Archiving My Page</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a web page for more than ten years now. I was updating some things there today, thinking I should change it. I decided to first make an archive of what it&#8217;s looked like at several points over the years, before I make any big changes:

		<title>I Won!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new grocery store opened in our neighborhood. It&#8217;s a Mexican grocery store called Bestway. They have good prices on fruit, and it&#8217;s closer than the Valu Plus store I mentioned last year in this post. Their ad this week says they&#8217;re giving away a free bag of groceries every hour to a lucky customer:

		<title>Why I don&#8217;t watch cable TV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We used to have cable TV. I liked some of the channels. Discover, National Geographic, History, A&#38;E. They had good shows about fascinating things. But that was 4 or 5 years ago. Tonight I looked up what&#8217;s on cable TV tomorrow, since I&#8217;m hanging out with a friend who has cable TV, and we might [...]]]></description>
