		<description><![CDATA[By no means am an expert on this topic but several people have asked me questions about my use of ereaders on my iTouch and on my Droid.  So, for what it&#8217;s worth&#8230; My Personal Experience With E-readers I have used four ereaders: Stanza on my iTouch Kindle on my iTouch and Droid phone Barnes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend in Glacier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent last weekend in Glacier (July 24-25, 2010).  While I would have wished for some clouds to break the monotonous blue sky and add a bit of interest (trust a photographer to whine about clear blue skies!), it was, nonetheless, a glorious weekend.

		<title>Vitamin D</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the third day of my solo camping trip to Yellowstone I got a good dose of the &#8216;sunshine vitamin&#8217; despite a frosty start.  It was 24 degrees Fahrenheit as I rolled out of camp at 6:30 and the world was glazed with frost.

		<title>A Grand Grizzly Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend, I suggested that since the kids&#8217; trip to Old Faithful with Mom and Laura the previous day had been aborted due to snow/slush/rain, I&#8217;d take the kids and make it a hydrothermal feature day including West Thumb, Old Faithful, Black Sand Basin and Firehole Lake Drive. I also planned [...]]]></description>
