		<title>03/09 &#8211; Looks like we made it!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think that song will be in my head for a little bit.&#160; Unfortunately that is the only verse/stanza of the song that I know, but it is appropriate.&#160; Yesterday at around 8:30am Steve Junk and I started our journey across Cook Strait.&#160; As one of our swimming friends reminded us, our boat name was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steve and I didn&#39;t have to wait long for the weather to cooperate.&#160; It looks like we will have a chance to swim tomorrow.&#160; Our new local friend, Donna, told us about the NZ sea god Tangaroa.&#160; We are going to say hello and thank you especially if the weather forecast true.&#160; And hopefully the [...]]]></description>

		<title>03/07 &#8211; Cook Strait Tide &#8211; Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No official Cook Strait swim today, but we (Steve and I) did receive a phone call from Philip Rush last night.&#160; Tomorrow, Monday, may be the day.&#160; If not on Day 2, it looks good for Day 3.&#160; However, in the 2 days that I&#39;ve been in New Zealand particularly Wellington I&#39;ve found the weather [...]]]></description>

		<title>03/03 or is it 03/04 &#8211; Who knows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think that the answer lies somewhere in &#34;Both&#34;.&#160; It is 03/03 by my internal clock, but my friend&#39;s calendar says that it is 03/04.&#160; After a long 14 hour flight, I&#39;ve arrived safely in Sydney for a small layover to catch up with friends.&#160; I got to my friend&#39;s flat where she advised me [...]]]></description>

		<title>03/02 &#8211; Ode to Dr. Seuss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is the birthday of Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss).&#160; In honor of him, I&#39;ll do my very best with an ode.
Today I leave on a jet.
	On to another adventure wet.
19 miles in Cook Strait
	I hope the sharks don&#39;t think me bait
Weather currently has a typhoon
	Which I hope is over very soon.

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#39;t believe that the time has come for me to get ready to board the plane on another swimming adventure.&#160; I&#39;m 3 days away from hauling loads of gear to another country and hoping that the TSA agents don&#39;t wonder about all the carbo fuel, vitamins and other food items that I take with [...]]]></description>

		<title>02/22 &#8211; Superstition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a superstition.&#160; It started before my first English Channel swim.&#160; I can&#39;t exactly remember how it started, but it did and I actually have a lot of fun with it.&#160; It is getting close for me to choose my fun toe nail polish.&#160; I have a few options coming into play.&#160; Two colors [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two weeks to go and Cook Strait is right around the corner.&#160; In fact I think it is a Ferrari that is trying to break the land speed record.&#160; I can&#39;t believe that there are only two weeks before I&#39;m on a plane to New Zealand.&#160; While I sit here shaking my head dumbfounded wondering [...]]]></description>

		<title>02/14 &#8211; Fundraising underway</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three years ago I would have never imagined that I&#39;d be using my swimming to raise money for breast cancer research.&#160; Then of course in my typical type A personality trait, I had to set myself a fundraising goal.&#160; I first considered $10,000.&#160; I thought it sounded like&#160;a good round number and one that was [...]]]></description>

		<title>01/01/2010 &#8211; The Holiday Letter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never done a holiday letter ever.  I get them.  I really enjoy them, but I&#8217;ve never sent one myself.  I couldn&#8217;t exactly figure out what to say.  For the past 4 years, my life has pretty much revolved around swimming and work.  I get a new plant every now and again and I kill [...]]]></description>
