		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year everyone! I know I am a week behind on wishing this. I still can&#8217;t even believe that it is a new year. They say that time moves quicker as you get older. Whoever &#8220;they&#8221; are&#8230; it is true. Time does move faster. Or life becomes more full, more complex, more urgent, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Boulder Edge TV: The Empty Places I did an interview for Boulder Edge TV several months ago and the interview is finally posted (link above).

It&#8217;s actually a funny story&#8230; I flew to a wedding in Texas just a couple of months ago. I was already running late for the flight, my suitcase was packed and I went [...]]]></description>
