		<title>Obama&#8217;s thunder to be heard on deaf ears</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Our President will be speaking this evening  about our departure from Iraq.  Thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives in that ancient land  over the past 8 years.  Since before Constantine declared that worshiping  the Nazarene would be the one true religion, empires have come and gone over Iraq&#8217;s mountains and deserts.

		<title>Appreciation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The photo above is of an AWMC customer just sitting back savoring the moment. A view of him admiring his own work was worth a moment of contemplation. Sometimes the journey is just a sweet as the destination. Months of sweat, toil and waning resources transforms into this moment.
Just another quiet moment without pomp and [...]]]></description>

		<title>PUSHING ON A STRING</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Our congressional representative attempted to dab some whipping cream on what I wouldn&#8217;t call an economic sundae today. Ms. Capps made comments about growth and recovery spurred along by our government&#8217;s previous actions.
Now, when I was a child my great grandomother of strong Missouri stock would say a simple phrase, &#8220;show me.&#8221;  With that in mind, [...]]]></description>

		<title>LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 

We have resorted to becoming a wrecking yard lately, trying to glean any value out of what we have in the yard. This keel was removed this morning from an old IOR racer who has had a good life but now must retire to the great landfill on Toland Road.
It has been a rough month [...]]]></description>

		<title>THOUGHTS FROM THE DECK OF A SINKING BATTLESHIP IN A STORM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
The title of this post is from one of my favorite movies,&#8221;The Royal Tenenbaums&#8221;. Something to it&#8217;s affect was carved on Royal&#8217;s grave stone at the end of the movie. I find it prescient at the moment. Not the grave stone part, but the action of it&#8217;s prose. 
One of my &#8220;big&#8221; ideas when I started [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lighten Things Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
You know, business can be a bitch. Recently I ressurected  my remote controlled fart machine. It&#8217;s amazing how something so stupid, so simple can change the mood of the room. Things have been downright brutal down here at the waters&#8217; edge. Sick friends, languishing commerce, mounting bills, but this little baby has actually helped out. I first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Illegal Nino&#8217;s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In response to the Star’s column regarding pending legislation on newborn children of illegal immigrants, I would submit that none of us have the right to determine the fate of these innocent young children born on our soil. The immoral nature of such a claim makes me sick to my stomach.
Mr. Gallegly’s arrogant attempt to [...]]]></description>

		<title>SIGN OF THE TIMES</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There was a time when a sailor would call a designer and order a custom wooden sailboat. Hand crafted by skilled artisans with love and care. This particular boat was sailed on her own bottom from Japan to California. She probably had a happy life, but now her time is done.
An empty shell with nothing [...]]]></description>

		<title>A RANT, A VENT, A NEW CHAPTER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As a former stockbroker, I have taken pride in my &#8220;perceived&#8221; understanding of business models. I spent years at a desk reading about companies, managements and economics. Now that I am &#8220;in the sea&#8221; of commerce directly, the lens through which I see these topics has changed. Let it be known that there are no &#8220;rosy&#8221; tones in [...]]]></description>

		<title>MASTERHYPNOTICPARTSCAPTAIN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Almost two years ago, exhausted, stressed out and looking for solutions, I found out about a gentleman who might have the answer. Randy, an aquaintance from PBYC, discussed hypnotherapy with me. My initial thought was the image of Randy standing over me with a conical hat emblazoned with a star and a crescent moon telling [...]]]></description>
