		<title>Technology changes, people don&#8217;t. Plugging into an old guy.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why can&#8217;t I plug into an old guy when I turn ten years old and gain all the knowledge, wisdom and skill he has? Why do I need to start from nothing and work an entire lifetime to gain knowledge, wisdom and skill on my own, only to have it lost when I die? Why [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lagom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lagom. It is a Swedish word that does not have a direct English translation, but it means kinda like &#8220;enough&#8221; as in &#8220;just enough&#8221; or &#8220;there is enough for everyone.&#8221; But, even those examples are not quite right, but language being what it is, it will have to do.
Over a span of about a year [...]]]></description>

		<title>How health insurance companies gave Obama&#8217;s health care reform it&#8217;s second wind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In November, the Democrats were on the ropes. The GOP had just elected themselves a golden child with Scott Brown and tilted the scales back below sixty votes in the Senate. They had won two gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey. The media was calling the Health Care Reform bill dead. Time between now [...]]]></description>

		<title>That&#8217;s a great idea, but nobody cares because you are a nobody</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pretty harsh title, I admit but it is really just there to get your attention. Did it work?
People don&#8217;t care about great ideas. They care about great personalities with average ideas they can understand. How else can you explain Sarah Palin&#8217;s book, Going Rogue: An American Life (Please don&#8217;t buy it.) or the raving success [...]]]></description>

		<title>SXSW &#8211; on a Mission from Dog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was given a marvelous opportunity recently, namely representing DogWalkBlog at SXSW.  Jumped on that offer immediately, because who wouldn&#8217;t??
I was also given a few tasks to accomplish while I was there, mostly along the line of &#8220;see if you can find Chris Brogan, aka @chrisbrogan, and say &#8220;hi&#8221; to him.  Some of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I love Cesar Millan*, but he has made my life hell, along with Emeril LaGasse, Mike Holmes, and Alton Brown. But those other guys are a completely different &#8212; though not unrelated &#8212; post. Maybe later. 
You see, Cesar has made almost everyone else in the pound an expert on dog behavior with an endless [...]]]></description>

		<title>The glacier is melting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is (or was) this huge pile of snow at the end of our lunchtime wrestle lot. For weeks, we&#8217;ve been playing &#8220;King of the Hill.&#8221; As it melts away, the game is becoming more and more intense as the snow becomes more scarce.
Anyway, Sallie (white dog) mostly wins the game. Charlie tries.

1. Take a photo of a dog you see at SXSW.
2. Tweet out with your photo using your favorite photo service, TwitPic, TweetPhoto, Yfrog, whatever. Enter as many photos as you wish.

Up until this week, there has been a lot of snow on the ground, so the dogs walk while I spend a lot of time slogging through snow, shuffling on ice and climbing over snow banks, all the while trying to keep my [...]]]></description>

		<title>There has to be an easier way to do this</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I am replacing a folding closet door with a pre-hung door. This involves some framing and sheet-rocking. I&#8217;m almost done with the door, thanks for asking.
I&#8217;m at the last part of the project where I&#8217;m putting sheet rock on the inside frame around the door. The closet is about four feet wide by about three [...]]]></description>

I will die. It is a fact that I can&#8217;t overlook, regardless of how much work I put into denying it, putting it off or otherwise just trying to ignore it.
So, faced with the fact that I will not be escaping death, I have done the following:

		<title>Hotels are going to the dogs</title>

Turns out they have this dog named Henry who [...]]]></description>

My editor wrote this over at GerardMcLean.com and I had to share. It is something that I privately champion at every opportunity, and this being one of those time, here you go.

		<title>When it is time to pass a torch</title>

I spent this Sunday morning listening to a fair amount of Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan and a few other more obscure artists who moved and continue to move an entire generation. The first thought I had was &#8220;how sad that they will never be able to create another PP&#038;M song.&#8221; The second thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Risk as a downhill ski run, Bode Miller style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading my Wall Street Journal today, page after page of blah, blah, blah and then I came across this story on page B8. It stopped me dead in my tracks.

I am not following the Winter Olympic Games nor am I really a fan of Bode Miller. I didn&#8217;t even read the article, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome, Robert Gibbs!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just a quick bark out to Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary, who joined us on Twitter a mere 55 minutes ago. Now, we&#8217;re just waiting for Bo to get here.
Big fans, especially with the &#8220;hopey-changey&#8221; retort press conference.

Yesterday, we had a guest speaker &#8211; Sarah &#8211; come into the DogWalk to motivate us to get out there and walk regularly, even if there is two feet of snow outside, kids home from school everywhere and cars zipping by us as we walk in the street.
Then, Charlie noticed that Sarah had some writing [...]]]></description>

My mother&#8217;s maiden name is Clavette.* Her mother&#8217;s maiden name was Pelletier. And that goes back a very long way. We only ended up American because the French apparently were really bad at making compasses and the family ended up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow Wrestlemania 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We ventured out to the Englewood Hills school grounds to wrestle in the snow. It looks pretty intense, but it was all in good fun.
When we were done, the snow looked like the putting green in the episode of the Munsters when Herman went golfing. 
Enjoy the video.

		<title>Hershey chocolate bar and Charm City Cakes (Ace of Cakes); Major upset</title>

Fans of the show Ace of Cakes will know what I&#8217;m talking about when I say that the Hershey bar cake Duff and crew made earlier last year was a bit of a puzzler as the wrapper was right-side up with Hershey, but the bar pieces inside were upside-down. So, the cake was made with [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the world of creativity, they will remain average</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ran across this video by Tom Peters. Watch it.

Peters makes some powerful points about education, but I don&#8217;t entirely agree with everything he says.
Creativity is not a refusal to color inside the lines. It is a conscious decision to color outside the lines, knowing what the lines mean and why they are there. Refusing [...]]]></description>

Ok, pretty strong statement, but what the heck, it will rank high in Google and get some people to start thinking about the unintended consequences of stupid company policies. So, Women Who Blog, if you are out there and have even the least bit interest in this, sharpen the pens.
