		<title>Holiday and Heart Attack: A Cautionary Tale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kat and I got back from Orlando around 2am this morning. We had a great time in Florida. The weather was mostly nice, although a bit cool on some days, and we did everything we set out to do. We went to Gatorland, Sea World, Cocoa Beach, and Daytona. I ate lots of Peanut Butter [...]]]></description>

		<title>Robert B. Parker dead at 77</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was very sorry to hear that Robert B. Parker, creator of the Spenser series of mystery novels (among others), has died. Parker&#8217;s work has been a huge inspiration to me and has helped to influence my own writing, especially my Felix Renn stories. He will be missed.

		<title>The 2009 Year-End Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I almost didn&#8217;t write a year-end review this year. As this website has continued to evolve over time, I&#8217;ve found myself dropping a number of features and I thought maybe it was time to put this one to rest. But then I saw a number of fellow writers doing it, and I decided that there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dr. Tongue&#8217;s 3-D House of Horror Links</title>
