		<title>Going Rogue, 3 Pages at a Time: 13-15</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow.  Sarah knows history.  And seems to represent here that she considers some of them as local heros &#8212; her heroes.  Amazing that her ghost writer studied up on Alaska history, because we know Sarah didn&#8217;t.  She couldn&#8217;t even study up for an interview with Katie Couric so how are we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Rogue, 3 Pages at a Time: 10-12</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s installment, we learn that Sarah&#8217;s family is just like our own family &#8212; dysfunctional but scrappy.  From her parents, Sarah learned a rugged independence: each person was ultimately in control of his or her own destiny.
Basically, at least from an upbringing standpoint, Sarah was pretty normal.  It&#8217;s pretty clear where she [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Rogue, 3 Pages at a Time: 7-9</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Of course this is a memoir/autobiography, so it is apparently time to explore the beginning of the story for a bit.
 The first thing we&#8217;re told is that Sarah&#8217;s arrival in Alaska was foreshadowed by a massive disaster, an unprecedented 9.2 earthquake, on record at the time as the largest in North American history. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Higgs, broken (again)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 So the cat broken another bone.  Actually, the same bone.  Apparently the metal bar put in place after the last time was being a bit too inflexible and putting pressure on the bone with each jump.  Time gave way to pressure and *snap*, break #2.
So the cat has had surgery again, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alas(ka), Sarah and Reagan did save the country!  Oh, well, no.  But she did run for city council and mayor of her home town, Wasilla, AK.  Wasilla: a town about the size of Bartonville, IL, my home town.  A town the size of a single fire house and a coupla cop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Sarah is the average mom. No, no; a good mom.  She takes her kids to the state fair, and lets them be kids.  The older child gets her space, while the younger one gets maternal protection and ego stroking.  Somewhere along the way motherhood takes a momentary break to remind the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peoria, August 09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Here are some pictures from the VERY short trip to Peoria in August of 2009.  My Aunt&#8217;s Janet and Minne were visiting my Mom so I managed to find a reasonable airfare out of Vegas and got home from Friday to Sunday.  We went to the Peoria Zoo (as you can see).  [...]]]></description>

		<title>1984, second read, done</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is interesting is how easily a democracy can be fooled. In actuality, it seems, the United States is actually an oligarchy.  The corporations and others with wealth or power herd the masses in the direction of their choosing. ]]></description>

		<title>Todd F. Bailey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a memory of a long ago lost dance buddy.  Took me a brain strain to remember the name but I did.  And now wondering what he&#8217;s up to.  That quick search on the Internet came up empty.  Anyone know of a Mr. Todd F. Bailey from central Indiana?  Gay, [...]]]></description>
