		<description><![CDATA[Choke? I used to choke in golf&#8211; 100% of the time. When I competed, when I tried out for the high school golf team, when I had an amazing score going into the 18th hole. 
&#8220;Wow, I&#8217;m doing great! I might break par.&#8221; 
Flash forward: sand trap, water hazard, out of bounds, lightning strike.

Pea and The Princess is one thing, but a pea in the lung is more than bizarre.  Watch about the man in Cape Cod who had a pea plant found inside his lung. &#124; NDM-1 gene is making E. Coli resistant to some antibiotics, like some staph.  This could be bad news. &#124; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ &#8220;Scab&#8221; is such an interesting word. I remember the culture shock in third grade when we moved from the Big Apple to Nowhereland, Ohio&#8211; and the shock was more for them than us. They looked and talked to us like we were Martians.

		<description><![CDATA[ Mountain biking is exhilarating, moving, and fun. I am also the world&#8217;s slowest mountain biker. Lance Armstrong should present me an award for this. While I believe in pushing myself physically, I have my limitations. I don&#8217;t like looking like road-kill on the side of a bike path. 
We&#8217;d never been to Lake Tahoe [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Don&#8217;t hold your breath,&#8221; is something I hear a lot. Maybe people will do what&#8217;s right and forget any politics involved? Don&#8217;t hold your breath. 
Maybe the Olympics in Beijing will reduce human right violations in China? Don&#8217;t hold your breath&#8230;. or maybe you should, with all the pollution there!

But now we&#8217;re hiring a nurse practitioner, and we&#8217;ve been hauling things all over, hammering away, dusting behind corners that haven&#8217;t seen light since 1904, yadda yadda yadda.
