		<title>Workout Update &#8211; the Good and the Bad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the Winter, Spring and Summer months I've moved my workout from being exclusively in the pool to being a mixture of swimming and weight lifting at our local rec center.  I've certainly added some nice strength to my shoulders, back and arms, but I can also see that I'm not logging nearly as much time in the pool each day as last year.]]></description>

		<title>Where&#8217;s My Internet Dividend???</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stop for a moment to consider the profound affect that the Internet has had on human efficiency.  Today, thanks to the Internet, if I want to purchase a traditonal recurved Mongolian hunting bow, I have but to execute a simple search.  In the days before the Internet just imagine the energies that would be expended in locating a vendor for such an exotic item!]]></description>

		<title>100 Laps!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year I managed on one day to get in an 80-lap day.  After that accomplishment I felt pretty good, however the feeling of exhilaration extended into my sleep that night, and I got a sense that I had really overdone it.  So, in the days that followed I throttled back to more typical daily lap counts of 40-60.

At the beginning if this summer, however, that little devil that sits on my shoulder started whispering in my ear that I was up to doing a 100-lap day. ]]></description>

		<title>I have been Remiss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I actually started this blog for purposes of contributing political commentary about the news of the day, yet I find that in recent months I've been more heavily tilted towards posting thoughts on my exercise and fitness program.  I can't seem to shake the thought in the back of my head that if I make myself more healthy then I actually have the ultimate "health care program", so why should I be so concerned with the one being foisted on the nation by our inept leadership in Washington?]]></description>
