		<title>Excerpt from Methuselah&#8217;s Daughter: Warrior</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After Action Reports are always deadly dull writing, but I had done so many I had it down to a science. The trick is to boil everything down to essentials and avoid editorializing except where individuals clearly performed in a manner above and beyond the call. I had mine completed in thirty minutes once we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Smoke</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am trapped in my basement office with my HEPA air filter running full blast. Why? &#60;a href=&#8221;http://www.wmur.com/video/23740979/&#8221;&#62;I blame Canada&#60;/a&#62;. Seriously, we could smell it when we woke up, but it wasn&#8217;t until we went outside and saw the haze and the brown horizon that it hit home. A few minutes after that and my [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Talis Incident</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Under the fold is an excerpt from the novel Methuselah&#8217;s Daughter: Warrior. Calling it an &#8216;excerpt&#8217; is a little pretentious because while we have the plot lines and characters all figured out the actual writing action has been minimal to say the least. Dean and I are both pretty pumped about this sequel, but neither [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Last Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my last weekend of unemployment- the new job begins Monday, February 1st. What does that mean? It means No cell phone, no Blackberry, no worries about being yanked out of bed at 3:00 AM because a customer  did something &#8220;that shouldn&#8217;t have affected anything!&#8221; And believe me when I say that is the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Light At The End Of The Tunnel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is an offer letter on the way and this 9 Month, 3 week long adventure in unemployment will be coming to a close. It&#8217;s an interesting company and a good group of people so I&#8217;m pretty psyched up about it. Of course I&#8217;m also apprehensive as hell- that&#8217;s just how I always am with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fictional Presidential Speeches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For no particular reason I found myself thinking about speeches delivered by fictional presidents in movies and I realized this was hands-down one of my favorites: I address you tonight, not as the president of the United States, or as the leader of a country, but as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Methuselah&#8217;s Daughter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time to make some decisions, I guess.  I haven&#8217;t been able to update the MD blog in a very long time and it bothers me to have it sitting out there in limbo. Renewal comes up in March and it may be time to let it go. Dean and I are working on Book 2, [...]]]></description>

		<title>October Update!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, what&#8217;s been going on? I had an excellent interview up at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Lebanon, NH. The position didn&#8217;t pan out, but they were a great group of people and at least I was able to sit down and talk shop for a while. A few other nibbles have been popping up, but nothing [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Never Forget&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was going to write something about 9/11/2001, but I still find it hard to put into words what I felt and experienced that day because regardless of what I did feel or experience it can never be more than a pale shadow of what was experienced by the people who were there; those who [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Prodigal Son Returns&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Or not. Nonetheless I am back at this again and will probably be updating more often now that I finally have something to say other than &#8216;Unemployment Sucks!&#8221; Unemployment Sucks. I never said i wouldn&#8217;t say that, just that it wasn&#8217;t all I had to say. One of the benefits of all this free time [...]]]></description>
