					<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t really say that I haven&#8217;t been blogging much lately. I haven&#8217;t blogged at all, for a reasonable estimation of forever. Today is different. I&#8217;ve talked to my sweetheart, she know what I&#8217;m feeling. So what else can I do but write about it? I can&#8217;t cure cancer, cure arthritis, reverse againg.

					<description><![CDATA[Greetings to you, fine visitor. I am an introvert. I wondered whether this was true as recently as a couple months ago because I tend to be the one who greets everybody and wanders around &#8212; for the first 10 minutes or so of an event &#8212; meeting people and learning their names. I&#8217;m pretty <a href='http://richwrites.bytecave.net/2013/08/22/introverts-r-us/' class='excerpt-more'>[... more]</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On July 18, 2012 I turned 50 years old. It was a great, fun-filled day with friends and family and lots of happiness. Easily one of the best days I can remember, ever. And I remembered something else right then, just as I hit the half-century milestone. Fifty. What’s that like?

					<description><![CDATA[Some families are truly awful. I have the deepest sympathy and compassion for those who must endure life within one. Some families are just bad. Unhealthy, dysfunctional, unloving. It would be hard to stay composed and upbeat and soldier on in that situation, but most do.

					<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re all more alike than we are different. Think about it. Two, Ten, Eleven&#8230; eyes, fingers, toes  &#8212; that applies to almost everyone. We eat, breath, and think. Cry when we&#8217;re sad, laugh when we&#8217;re happy, smile at babies. Every day, we work diligently to differentiate ourselves.

					<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, it&#8217;s impossible to think of what to write. Something serious? Informing on a hot topic of the moment? Or maybe just a random brain dump. Today is one of those days. Incidentally, and beside the point, it&#8217;s also Friday. One thing I&#8217;ve always liked doing is to blather.
