		<title>Health Insurance stupidities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Background: I&#8217;m going to a little island off the coast of Madagascar for work in less than a week: Mauritius.
According to the CDC page, it has a strain of malaria (not chloroquine resistant).  So, I troop off to my doctor yesterday to get anti-malarials and she recommends the typhoid fever vaccine.  Since it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

We used Edwort&#8217;s Apfelwein recipe to make a batch of Apfelwein like I had in Germany.  Brian had me get my own carboys so that I didn&#8217;t taint the beer in his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy holidays!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been traveling and holed up with work lately.  This month has seen 55+ hour weeks - mostly from traveling.  I got to go to Frankfurt (note, some of the pictures are on my laptop and not uploaded yet), and Tucson, AZ.  Last week involve traveling 5 days out of five - [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flight stopover in Shannon, Ireland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, it wasn&#8217;t planned, but my (direct) flight to Frankfurt last night/this morning stopped in Shannon Ireland for an emergency medical situation.  Apparently, the patient was in dire enough straits to need to be at the hospital immediately rather than wait another hour and a half to Frankfurt.  I hope s/he&#8217;s OK.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another lesson about the fireplace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Negative air pressure in the house brings air in through the largest opening - the chimney.  It makes quite a smokey smell in the house.  I like it, but it was making Brian sick.  There&#8217;s no problem as long as there&#8217;s a fire, but when there&#8217;s no fire, the smell is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons learned from my first fire (in the fireplace)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me just start with the preface that despite 3 decades on this planet, I&#8217;ve never lit a fire in a fireplace.  I had them growing up, but that was in Texas - it was never lit in 10 years of living there.  My mom mentioned a fireplace when we lived in Philly, [...]]]></description>
