First time playing Apples to Apples (no &#8211; I don&#8217;t know how that&#8217;s possible). First 5K walk.  CB joined me &#8211; definitely good quality time.  Don&#8217;t get enough of that!

		<description><![CDATA[This pretty much sums me up with regard to two aspects of my life, in particular &#8211; probably more if I really thought about it.  But, I can only really focus on two at a time.    Guess which two? Fortunately for me, I&#8217;m at Chapter 4 on one.  The other, well, I&#8217;m too gun [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love musicals. It’s no secret. From the serious (e.g., Miss Saigon) to the silly (e.g., Legally Blonde) to the obscure (e.g., Bat Boy), I enjoy nearly all of them. Breaking into song out of nowhere is highly entertaining – except in the case of the Sky Is Falling Chorus (SIFC). You’ve heard them. They [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three months ago today, my father died.  I know this not because the date is burned in my brain, but because I double checked the date on his obituaries.  That sounds harsh, I know.  But if you knew my father like I knew him (or didn’t know him), you’d understand…  Aren’t you lucky?  This four-part [...]]]></description>
