		<title>We Tell Ourselves Stories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re all storytellers. Some of us realize this fact before others, while a few fail to acknowledge this reality ever. We tell ourselves a story about who we think we&#8217;re meant to be versus who we&#8217;ve really become. We tell stories about how we think we were, full of bravado and beauty, when, in reality, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three Months of Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe I&#8217;m more tired than I realized or maybe it&#8217;s just been too long since I last posted.
I forgot my password.
More than the date of my last post, this loss of memory brings home how long it&#8217;s been since I&#8217;ve put my words on the screen. For the last few months, I&#8217;ve been tied up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now What Does a Nobel Mean?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much will be written about President Obama&#8217;s Nobel Peace Prize win. I&#8217;m not negative about the win, but baffled. If I&#8217;ve done the math right, he was in office less than two weeks when he was nominated. He received the award after being in office less than a year.
He has accomplished much given his age, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Health Care Debate Isn&#8217;t Really a Debate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whoever defined the current noise surrounding the question of reforming health care as a debate needs their heads examined. A debate implies an exchange of ideas. All I&#8217;ve heard is a bunch of whining from both sides.
While real arguments exist that support both mindsets, they&#8217;ve been drowned out of the conversation. Instead we see news [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Are You Filtering Information?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Vanity Fair&#8217;s August edition, Michael Wolff makes the case that Politico.com represents the way we&#8217;re going with regards to information distribution:
&#8220;obsessives everywhere in their particular narrow-focused areas of interest (&#8217;silos&#8217; is the modern information term), flashing ever more information, ever quicker, in ever shorter bites&#8212;the shorter you can make it, the more information there [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Catch-22 of Newspapers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like newspapers. I like the organization of information, and the way I can leaf through their pages, scanning for stories. But, as I relearned yesterday, the hard way, newspapers do not make a good fit for this brave new world.
A client provided an interview to a local newspaper a few days ago. This reporter [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running to Discover Your Motivation For Doing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a runner, albeit not always a happy one. Sometimes my miles are a slog. Usually they&#8217;re something for me to tick off my to-do list. In the back of my mind, I thought it odd that I didn&#8217;t look on running with the same joy that possessed me as a child. I chalked it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who Are We Really Mourning?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The seemingly global angst surrounding the death of Michael Jackson has me thinking: what are we really mourning? I doubt that it&#8217;s who he was at the time of his death, but rather, for those of use who remember, who he was when we liked him best.
We&#8217;re mourning the guy who introduced the moon walk, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Highs and Lows of Expectations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Expectations are tricky things. They invite optimism, giving you something to look forward to. On the flip side, they can lead to disappointment and foster cynicism. When we&#8217;re dealing with our expectations for people, the extremes are perhaps the greatest. People have the potential to stun us, for both good and bad.
In my case, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons from Running a Race</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday, I ran my first race of the season, a half marathon. I tell myself I shouldn&#8217;t be surprised, and yet I&#8217;m baffled by the people who sign up for a race then refuse to follow the rules. Here are my favorites:

No support teams: Despite the rule, one such car was labeled clearly as [...]]]></description>
