		<title>Mister Toads Wild Ride, Revisited&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, I wrote about my experiences of teaching my youngest daughter how to drive.  I tried searching for it in my blog, but over the years, I’ve somehow lost that original story.  Too bad, it probably was a good one.  What made me think to look up an old post on this [...]]]></description>

		<title>An All-Star Game in My Backyard, Almost&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For anyone who knows me, this time of year is the best.  Hot weather, a chance to wear shorts (which I do most of the time anyways, I just don&#8217;t look funny doing it in the summer), enjoying a frosty beverage, enjoying a cigar and watching baseball.  Other than the playoffs and when my team (the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Father&#8217;s Day Gift&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote this tribute to my daughters last year and thought I&#8217;d update it and reprint most of it.  Being a father is a very important gift and I think it&#8217;s important that we remember why we became parents.  I hope you enjoy it. It&#8217;s Been My Privilege&#8230;  I have the honor and the privilege to [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Down, Two to Go&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After four years of homework, class juggling, boyfriend drama, moving into a dorm, out of a dorm, into school housing, out of school housing, and two different apartments, her mother and myself finally have a college graduate. Yep, my oldest just graduated from a Southern California school this weekend.  Of course, her mother and I are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Election Day Volunteering&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He was very serious.  He made his statement and he wanted an answer.  The three older women who were working with me all turned to await my decision.  My mind raced, what was the answer?  Was it the green envelope or the white?  Was the answer yes, or no?  Where was the nearest exit and could [...]]]></description>

		<title>Half Century&#8230;Really?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know, many of you will look at the photos at the top of the blog and say, &#8220;There is no way Mike is turning 50 tomorrow.&#8221; and then there are a few of you, (I&#8217;m talking to you Matt) who will say, &#8220;Oh dear god, he&#8217;s not looking too good.&#8221; Either way, being a half century [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Facebook is Ruining High School Reunions&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My 30th high school reunion was a couple of years ago and my wife’s reunion is happening this summer.  Normally a reunion is a great time for everyone to catch up with what has happened to our old friends.  Who made it, who didn’t, who has grand kids, and who is still single.  It’s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Unhappy Anniversary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember the day very well. It was a Friday and the sun was shining. I made my way to the office and grabbed a cup of coffee as I usually did. Started small talk with my work colleagues but there was a bit of melancholy in everyone’s voice. We all knew that for many [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mother&#8217;s Day, Again&#8230;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Actually, this post has been long overlooked by me.  I was doing a quick search for Mothers on my site and did not find a post concerning the day we all need to be celebrating.  As a father who blogs, (not nearly enough!) I have a great appreciation for the other sex and their contributions to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why We Blog, Revisited&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost a year ago, I wrote a post titled &#8220;Why Do We Blog?&#8221; and got some great responses.  I wrote the post at a time when my life was much different than it is now.  A year ago, though I was fast approaching unemployment, my optimism was high.  Who would have thought that a college [...]]]></description>
