		<title>High Flying Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Come on, you yellow Pansy!&#8221; Josie muttered at her parked Stearman biplane. Only when it didn&#8217;t cooperate did she use the canary-colored plane&#8217;s nickname. She sauntered around a few seconds to refocus, hands on her hips, then turned on a heel to face the propeller once again. With a swift motion she yanked with all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coming Up for Air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A brief hello from the throes of the writing marathon: NaNoWriMo is going well after week one. A little catch-up needs to take place, but for the most part many more words have been written thus far compared to my past NaNo attempts. It feels really good! Of course, there are always distractions. There are [...]]]></description>

		<title>NaNoWriMo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of year again!  &#8230;Cooler temps (except for my part of New Mexico), Thanksgiving preparation, and NaNoWriMo. In case you&#8217;re wondering, NaNoWriMo isn&#8217;t some exotic alien animal that Mork owns. It&#8217;s short for National Novel Writing Month. Every November, thousands of seasoned and first-time novelists alike pledge to crank out the first draft [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s an Autumn Challenge All Right&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was a happy blogger this morning. The keyboard went tippety-tap at a nice clip as I wrote a new post about this last weekend. Then, just as I reached to make a backup of the post, the WiFi cut out as it was auto-saving my draft. Bye, bye post. Sigh. I&#8217;ll try to recreate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rainy Morning + Caffeine = Bit O&#8217; Poetry</title>

		<title>It&#8217;s the Final Countdown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[T-minus 14 days until the launch of fall decorations. Today&#8217;s high temperature? 95 degrees &#8211; surprisingly low. I don&#8217;t care if it&#8217;s still so hot the squirrels are wiping their furry brows while cooking little pans-full of eggs on my sidewalk.  Come September 1, the storage boxes appear and autumn takes over our house. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Engage Sochi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[969 days. That&#8217;s not much time. It may sound like a lot, but it&#8217;s really not.  Not if you&#8217;re planning to meet and connect with local people, win them to Christ, begin Bible studies and plant churches &#8211; all before the 2014 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Russia&#8217;s coastal/mountain city of Sochi (pronounced SOH-chee &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>News of Olympic&#8230;er, Epic Proportions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a happy writer. The manuscript of my WWII novel Wild Blue Yonder still inches along. The process continues to challenge and inspire me&#8230;I&#8217;m convinced that the blood, sweat, and tears of this seemingly endless project will be worth it, even if it&#8217;s just for me. I wouldn&#8217;t trade it. Josie and her cronies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Beneath the Surface</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of you know that David and I got to run away last month. Vacation called our names, and we didn&#8217;t turn a deaf ear. Two states showed us their amazing sights. One of my favorite stops was Antelope Canyon near Page, Arizona. At first glance it doesn&#8217;t look like much.  If you didn&#8217;t know [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tale of Two&#8230;er, Three Espresso Machines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is dedicated to the person who&#8217;s been requesting it for months. You know who you are. In case you don&#8217;t, your name is Kerri. It was the best of espresso making, it was the worst of espresso making. (&#8230;Betcha saw that coming.) Oh, the caffeine highs and post-caffeine-crash lows of being a married [...]]]></description>
