		<title>Britain Trip, Day 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sunday 7 March 2010
We spent the day in the British Museum.  This museum is too large to see in one day, even if you come at opening time and stay until closing time.  It&#8217;s also a lot of walking.  But we tried to see as much as we could, and I think we did see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Britain Trip, Day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saturday 6 March 2010
We didn&#8217;t do much today since I wanted to sleep.  I&#8217;ve been under a lot of stress at work lately, and I&#8217;m exhausted.  Plus  it&#8217;s warm in my hotel room and  cold outside.
We did the houses of parliament and big ben.  It was  rather odd because we came out of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Britain Trip, Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friday, 5 March 2010
We flew into London and arrived around 9 p.m.  It was dark and cold.  Fortunately our hotel is quite close to the underground station, so we didn&#8217;t have far to walk.
The hotel is across the street from this seemingly endless row (all  along the street) of victorian era row houses.  If [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m back!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been six months since I posted.  The last time I posted, in April, I was &#8220;swimming to Saudi.&#8221;  Well, I didn&#8217;t make it.  I only made 3000 meters.  I&#8217;ve been trying to improve my swimming since, and this last month I broke 3000 meters.  So while I&#8217;d like to complete and win a swim [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m swimming to Saudi this month!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, that&#8217;s right.  You read the title correctly.
The pool has challenges every month.  This month&#8217;s is swim the distance from Bahrain to Saudi Arabia (we just call it Saudi) during the month of April.  The distance is 20,000 meters, which is 400 laps.
I signed up today.  Already  I have done 1500 meters.  And that&#8217;s just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thunder and Rain!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve actually had a thunderstorm here!  That is majorly exciting.  I thought Bahrain never had storms, ever.  I am in my second year here on this island, and this is the first storm we&#8217;ve had.  Sure we have dust storms, but here I&#8217;m specifically speaking of storms with some kind of water falling out of [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Theme and Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, I&#8217;m sorry I haven&#8217;t posted since early January.  I even had some posts planned, but they just didn&#8217;t get written.  I got busy at work and then studying for my EXW and then I got sick&#8211;for three weeks.  I call it the Bahraini Crud because that virus has swept through the island and everyone [...]]]></description>
