		<title>Inception</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am ecstatic that the movie Inception was not based on a novel, because that novel would most certainly have made me strongly consider retiring my one pen. If Christopher Nolan continues the writing, directing and producing quality he has exhibited with this and the last Batman movie, the rest of Hollywood should be concerned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heidigger&#8217;s Glasses by Thasia Frank</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Heidegger&#8217;s Glasses combines the events of World War II and the Holocaust, mixes in a Nazi obsession with the supernatural, and adds a stubborn German philosopher named Heidegger who needs a new pair of glasses. The idea and concepts were interesting and i enjoyed the read, though I found the characters (especially the Germans) running [...]]]></description>

		<title>Texas Almanac 2010-2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was a kid, every Christmas my mother would wrap an Almanac under the tree. This was back in the day before the Internet (yes, kids, there was such a time), so these books were treasure troves of information. I still have some old World Almanacs in my collection, but until recently have not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tour de Bayou 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unknown to me living way out here in the &#8216;burbs, the HARRA (Houston Area Road Runners Association) has been holding a Tour de Bayou for several years. The Tour de Bayou is a series of runs in the parks and bayous of Houston, with the tracks laid out to create hills (which, if you&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Qi, focus and injuries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In advance of World Tai Chi and Qigong Day (April 24th this year, and, no, Hallmark did not create this as a holiday to sell cards), I pose this question: what are you doing with the pinkie finger on your non-throwing hand when you are bowling?
A long-ago bowling teammate of mine used to ask that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Red Skull (Doc Savage #17)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the sixth story originally published by Street and  Smith. The Bantam one I have is in great condition, though it is a 5th printing (August 1977, ten years after the 1st Bantam printing).
The Red Skill has, thus far in my re-read, the absolute least exotic locales. Granted, New York City in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sarah&#8217;s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fiction that interweaves historical fact, especially the World War I or II time periods, are among my favorite reads (and I enjoy writing them as well). Sarah&#8217;s Key fits that bill very well, mixing the tragic events of the holocaust in Paris in 1942 with a modern journalist seeking her own truths in the past [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marriage is like having a ring in your nose?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many years (okay, decades) ago, marriages and weddings used to scare me too. Scare and intimidate, and I was loud and vociferous about my objections to them to hide those fears. Every wedding I went to during my days as a young man, I would torment the groom as much as possible with stories of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Romance blog review? Never thought I&#8217;d see the day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Software by the Kilo was reviewed on the Coffee Time Romance web site. I did try to follow my wife&#8217;s instructions to lower the geek factor in my second novel, but never dreamed it would be reviewed on a romance blog, much less get a four out of five coffee cup rating (after a four [...]]]></description>

		<title>New review of Software by the Kilo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A nice well written &#8220;four spider&#8221; review of my latest novel, Software by the Kilo, over at Webb Weaver. A bit of it below:
I heartily enjoyed Software By The Kilo, with it&#8217;s well thought out and original storyline. The interaction between the techies and the goons was hysterical and a little creepy. Larry Ketchersid also [...]]]></description>
