		<title>HAPPY SNOW DAY!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes the snow comes on the perfect day, and today was that day. I was off work and the schools were closed. The wife is off on Fridays already, not that I&#8217;m jealous. We chilled out (literally and figuratively) and just enjoyed the perfect snow day.

		<title>CHATTING WITH GOOD OL&#8217; MOM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve never posted a conversation with my mother on this blog. Good thing she doesn&#8217;t own a computer&#8230; 
My mother and I were talking on the phone the other day and as usual she tried to run a guilt trip on me. She said &#8220;oh my boys don&#8217;t call me enough.&#8221; And &#8220;I guess one [...]]]></description>

		<title>INSPIRING DAD &#8211; LESSONS FROM THE PAST</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was re-reading Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.&#8217;s Letter from a Birmingham Jail and I had to pause to take a deep breath a time or two. Not because his letter was a tear jerker &#8211; it&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s truth spoken to power and is not at all sentimental. The ideas from his letter that [...]]]></description>

		<title>REMEMBERING MY PERSONAL HERO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Dr. King, 
Your spirit endures even in the face of our most recent tragedy as our brother and sisters in Haiti suffer at the hands of a natural disaster made worse by unnatural extreme poverty. But I think you&#8217;d be pleased by how the world has responded thus far. For better or for worse your [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 &#8211; A KEITH ODYSSEY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[p>It&#8217;s a new year and a new me! Um, not quite. I&#8217;m the same old me (and getting older apparently). I&#8217;m ok with that, since I made it to another year intact. I&#8217;ve been busy working on great projects behind the scenes and planning for 2010. Throughout the year I&#8217;m hoping to roll out some [...]]]></description>

		<title>NO CHRISTMAS FOR YOU!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The world moves too fast for my liking sometimes. Not that I can&#8217;t keep up, I can thank you very much, but more that I like having a second or two for analysis. At the office  you have to be able to do both and in general I can do that too (though I [...]]]></description>

		<title>GIVE &#8216;TIL YOUR KIDS CRY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My wife and I are charitable people. We give our time and money to causes that matter to us. For the last few years we have been giving to food charities. We eat very well &#8211; it&#8217;s a priority of ours. I have documented in the past how much we enjoy food and the recipes [...]]]></description>

		<title>MY HOLIDAY MUSIC OBSESSION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the beginning of October I have been listening to Christmas music. All kinds too &#8211; from Country and Metal to Soul and Hip-Hop and everything in between. It&#8217;s really absurd and now that I see the words in black and white, it&#8217;s also embarrassing. I need an ugly sweater and some felt reindeer antlers [...]]]></description>

		<title>HOLIDAY HESITATION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[p>Usually around this time of the year I am excited about rolling into the fun of the fall, and the awesomeness of the Holiday Season in NYC. We already purchased Dev&#8217;s Halloween costume, and we&#8217;re trying to decide on which orchard we will be picking apples and pumpkins at this year. Fall really is my [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE LITTLE THINGS REALLY MATTER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend my wife was sick with some kind of 24 hour bug. I was glad to see her resting for a change, but not under the circumstances. I purchased the soup and juice needed to combat any sickness and plowed her with acetaminophen to keep the fever down. I am also a self [...]]]></description>
