		<title>And the aftermath</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a couple days since I ran the Bolder Boulder. My legs are still sore, and I certainly won&#8217;t be picking the running flag back up for at least another week. But man, it was worth it.
Prior to this endeavor, I could not run one mile without becoming winded beyond recovery. Now I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bolder Boulder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This time next week, I will no doubt be cursing at my own body and downing ibuprofen like it was going out of style. On Memorial Day, I will be running the Bolder Boulder 10k.
The last time I ran this was in 2000, right before I left for San Diego. My life was about to [...]]]></description>

		<title>BIRDS!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So for the past couple months, I&#8217;d been sitting down in the living room in the morning, eating breakfast and whatnot, and I&#8217;d hear this rattling from my fireplace. It wasn&#8217;t consistent, and I could never go outside and hear it again. But I&#8217;d come back inside, and WHAM..there it is. Sounded like someone using [...]]]></description>

		<title>Okay, so SOMEONE is hiring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So I&#8217;ve been getting a ton of calls from technical recruiters these past weeks. Depite the nuclear wasteland that is our economy, it seems people are hiring on in my area.
This would be great if I was looking for a job &#8211; which I am not. So, shout out &#8211; if you&#8217;re a techie and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Presidential Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One thing that has stuck with me this last week, and that one of my co-workers has shared, is the feeling of dread I have that, no matter what, people are setting their expectations too high with regards to President Obama.
Even if the man manages to move the earth and the heavens, and even if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holidays!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I was asked when the next post would be&#8230;so it&#8217;s RIGHT NOW, BITHCES.
Been a crazy couple months, as holidays usually are. Mostly ran into some unexpected expenses in the form of more work done on the truck, and Buster (My dog) developing epilepsy. So that made Christmas a little thin this year, but you know, [...]]]></description>

		<title>What else to do on a sunny Saturday&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;but go to work. Feh. But I figure making some extra bucks the last few months of the year is worth it if it means I can go through Christmas without having to worry about dipping into debt to do so. Also allows me to bump up my emergency funds, so that&#8217;s even better.
We&#8217;ve had [...]]]></description>

		<title>The weekend, she be done.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this weekend was spent driving cars and going on a hike with a good friend.
The cars -

Acura TL Type S &#8211; Tight suspension, lots of get up and go. Not enough to make my teeth come loose, but certainly decent. Only drawback is the lack of AWD. Supposedly AWD is coming, but that won&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
