		<description><![CDATA[	It looks like I&#8217;ve fallen behind again, it&#8217;s the way of things. The holidays come and we observe the rituals. Family, friends and presents. It&#8217;s kind of funny to have a midwinter&#8217;s festival here in this place where we have no winter, but that&#8217;s the way of things too.

		<description><![CDATA[	Last week I accompanied my father and sister to my Great Aunt Miriam&#8217;s funeral.
We arrived at Albuquerque NM&#160; around dinnertime Wednesday night, the plan was to pick up my sister and go up to Delores CO some five hours away to be in time for the funeral&#160; on Thursday morning. My sister&#160; ended up missing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	We put Miriam to rest this weekend. She was my Great Aunt&#160; on my father&#8217;s side of the family, his mom&#8217;s sister. Miriam was born in 1913 making her 95 years old. I remember meeting her when I was very young, like seven or so. She was retired by that time, a very nice but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	November was pretty busy in a kind of boring way. I&#8217;m retooling one of our larger labs right now and messing around with the settings of the library machines.

	A couple of weeks ago we had a &#8220;hole punch clouds.&#8221; It&#8217;s kind of a rare phenomena resulting when a jet plane traverses a thin-cold layer of [...]]]></description>

	It&#8217;s been quite a week. We had E&#8217;s cousins over last weekend, mostly to do Halloween (since we got the prime &#8216;ween-hood over here.)&#160; Deb had Homecoming duties so&#160; I played dad to &#8220;I was a pre-teen werewolf,&#8221; &#8220;Army Brat&#8221; and &#8220;Dangerous Sullen Teenager.&#8221; The Halloween hoodicks over here put on a fantastic show just [...]]]></description>
