		<title>2008 in the Rearview&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re driving away from that ol&#8217; town called 2008 today&#8230; and flooring it like Hell is breaking loose!
So what if it wasn&#8217;t a banner year for us? We still got a lot of little things accomplished (updated our websites, finally finished our basement renovations, did 4 podcasts, and regenerated S.Rod&#8217;s spine!). It just was not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anatomy of a 4-Hour Daily Commute</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People think I&#8217;m out of my mind to have a daily commute that balloons to as much as 4 hours. I agree that it&#8217;s crazy to do it, but I&#8217;m not out of my mind. The truth is, some of it is my fault, while most of it was imposed on me. Here was how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Somrod @ Lollapalooza 2008: Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, it took me three weeks to get our Lollapalooza and Chicago photos online. So be it. Here they are, presented in chronological order (click for larger view, photo will open in new window):

		<title>Somrod @ Lollapalooza 2008: Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If ever there were a five day vacation that defined extreme highs and lows, we just lived it at Lollapalooza 2008 in Grant Park, Chicago. In the end, we came out ahead, because we are back home with our positive memories.
That being said, there was a lot of frustration in dealing with the crowds, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Drop Podcasts, Then Go On Vacations&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; If only it was always like this!
Yes, as you may or may not know, Magic Junk Radio 11: Slow Ahead debuted Monday evening after a couple of months of electronic tweaking and dabbling. The final podcast came out much better than we expected. In fact, it kicks ass from start to finish.
Then on Thursday, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lolla Prep 2: Wilco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may have read the other week, we will be seeing Wilco on the second night of Lollapalooza. While it pains me to have to miss Rage, I know that Wilco will put on a show that is more relevant to S.Rod and I in our present states. Eighteen year old Mark is turning [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lolla Prep 1: Radiohead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With less than a month to go until S.Rod and I journey to Chiacgo for the Lollapalooza music festival, we have been scouring the Somrod music archives for songs we expect to hear. Since I have seen Radiohead three times now, I&#8217;m not too worried about hearing songs and so on&#8212; I just know that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lollapalooza &#8216;08 Conflict: Rage Vs. Wilco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you must choose between two great bands—one from your past against one from your present—there is bound to be regret in your future.
I&#8217;m sure the line above is paraphrasing a famous quote from somewhere (even if Google is not showing me one), but it accurately describes my situation when I attend the 2008 Lollapalooza [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review: R.E.M. @ Madison Square Garden, New York City, 6/19/08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[** M. Sahm **
As the more casual fan of the Somrod duo when it comes to R.E.M., I was not disappointed in the least bit by last night&#8217;s show. It was high octane for most of the show, and I only sat down for 2 of the 27 songs (Houston and Let Me In). With [...]]]></description>

		<title>Experiment Over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seventeen days ago, I set a goal to find the Writer-Self.
Okay, well, I really set a goal to blog every day this month. But this was to shake off the rust in finding that self.
But you know, that self wasn&#8217;t as lost as I thought. I wasn&#8217;t as rusty as I expected to be. Experiment [...]]]></description>
