		<title>One Month Down!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, gang, 2012 has started off strong, and the month of January has ended. In that time, we&#8217;ve seen the passing of music icon Etta James, famed football coach Joe Paterno, and former &#8220;sweat hog&#8221; Robert Hegyes.   I&#8217;ve always felt &#8220;At Last&#8221; was overplayed, I&#8217;m not a fan of football, and Welcome Back Kotter was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life in Gilbertville</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It certainly has been a busy time for me &#8212; the reason for my long absence here.   I know I was going to update every few days, but life sometimes gets in the way of our best intentions, and we have no choice but to attend to its needs. Gilbertville, the latest album from the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Saturday Gone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Saturday, which once meant cartoons, cooking shows and wrestling to me, but now it&#8217;s just a day when the bank has different hours, and more people are at the barbershop. Saturday morning cartoons were almost like a religion to kids for about 40 years.  The fact that this staple no longer exists leaves a [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s a Productive Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yep.  I went into the basement and cleaned out some crap.  Then I did some laundry.  I also cleaned up the kitchen a bit.  All the while, I listened to great music, ate good food and got myself mentally prepared for the upcoming week.  Ain&#8217;t this what Sundays are for, anyhow? And it feels like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yeah&#8230; it&#8217;s Thursday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just listened to Roger Miller&#8216;s gorgeous, impromptu version of &#8220;Leaving&#8217;s Not the Only Way to Go,&#8221; and my heart just melted.  What a fabulous song, by such a remarkable performer.    I have always loved Roger, and listen to him on a regular basis.  But sometimes even somebody you know so well can take you [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s 1/11/11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know what this date means?  Probably not a whole lot to most of you.  Probably not anything, really.  It&#8217;s my buddy Loren&#8217;s birthday, and it&#8217;s the 40th birthday of Mary J. Blige.  But that&#8217;s not really why I am writing this. I&#8217;ve just decided today is where all the bunk ends for me.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Still Sound Like Suzanne Pleshette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, my voice is as raspy as can be&#8230; still.  I feel like uttering one of Pleshette&#8217;s throwaway lines from Hot Stuff, like &#8220;Hey, gun slinger&#8230; who did you arrest today, a guy with a tuba?&#8221;  But as soon as I would say it, I would quickly realize that nobody would get the reference, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where Is the Love?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The lack of voice continued on.  And so did I&#8230; at work.  I started the day with moderate voice, but it quickly descended into squeaky whispers.  8 hours of talk can do that to you.  My big joke to the kids was this: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been without my voice all day, and there&#8217;s a big reward [...]]]></description>

		<title>Under the Weather, But Getting By</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a bit of a cold now, unfortunately. I can&#8217;t really speak (which some might count as a blessing), and that throws off my idea of shooting a new video for my page. I was still working yesterday, speaking in front of crowds, when my throat started to give out. I was saying, &#8220;You [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not only did Anne Francis die on Sunday, so did Pete Postlethwaite, the craggy-faced actor from such films as The Usual Suspects and In the Name of the Father. He was a remarkable actor who brought in a very serious, tense quality to all the projects he was involved with. And if you believe in [...]]]></description>
