What amazes me most while I&#8217;ve been offline is the volume of spam posts there have been to the blog. So many attempts to get something posted! All of the [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;re in the process of packing and moving right now (I expect to actually move in about a week), so while I&#8217;ll try to post some updates during that time, problems with Internet access and such will likely cause difficulty getting online.

		<description><![CDATA[Ever heard of SMART Goals? I&#8217;ve seen several variations on the title, but it&#8217;s used something like this:



S - Specific
M - Measureable
A - Achievable
R - Relevant
T - Time dimensioned

There is no discrimination, no attempt to get it to any sort of right place. Further, there is no apparent concern that it doesn&#8217;t get posted, just [...]]]></description>
