		<title>Pelagic Dive, Apr 24 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of you may remember hearing me rave about the &#8220;Pelagic Magic&#8221; black water dive in Kona.  You drift around several miles offshore in the dark, watching all sorts of cool critters drift by.
At the time, Jeff and I wondered why something similar wasn&#8217;t common in Southern California.  I mean, we&#8217;ve got lots of jellies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kona, Summer 2009 - Dive Day #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a week before I went to Hawaii, I got an email from my friends Sylvia and Francesco, asking me for dive shop recommendations on the Big Island for their upcoming trip.  I did a double-take at their travel dates - we&#8217;d be there at exactly the same time!
This neatly solved one of my dilemmas: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kona, February 2009: Part Four</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sunday was eventful - in good ways and bad.
Our day began at Honokohau Harbor.  More accurately, at Alula Beach, just south of the harbor and accessible by a short hike over lava.  Without SCUBA gear, it&#8217;s a relatively easy hike.  With tanks, weights, and cameras, it&#8217;s a slightly tricky wobble over uneven ground, best made [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kona, February 2009: Part Three</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, we headed down south for a few dives with one of Jack&#8217;s &#8216;advanced&#8217; trips.  These are fun trips to sign up for, as you may get to some more difficult or interesting dive sites - and even if you don&#8217;t, you&#8217;re on a boat with a bunch of other moderately experienced divers, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We interrupt this Hawaii trip report to bring you the best picture EVER of me with a giant ground sloth:

		<title>Kona, February 2009: Part Two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, we had a special treat planned.  Several weeks before our trip, I&#8217;d contacted the local underwater photography club to see if anyone wanted to dive with us while we were in town.  One of our offers was not just to go beach diving - but to go out with someone on their boat!  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kona, February 2009: Part One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was my eighth visit to Hawaii, and Jeff&#8217;s fifth.
On our long weekend there last year, I wasn&#8217;t able to dive - so it had been two years since I&#8217;d dived around Kona, which is two years too long.  I was SO READY for this visit.  And Jeff was equally excited to dive someplace with [...]]]></description>

		<title>25 Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kathy has tagged me.  So did Beth, via Facebook.  I normally don&#8217;t go for these, but Kathy did mention me particularly - plus, it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m rolling in blog topics these days (as you may have noticed), so here goes.
25 random things about me that you may or may not know:

		<title>A Day at the Office</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2009 has gotten off to a rocky start.
I&#8217;ve been sick for the last two weeks.  A2 left (both the office and the country).  And there are some major upheavals happening at work - not the &#8220;my job is in peril&#8221; kind of upheavals, but definitely the &#8220;my job will be stressful for a [...]]]></description>
