		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday on the kitchen table was a newspaper. That in itself would be unusual given that I don&#8217;t subscribe to a newspaper, but this one was particularly different.The masthead of this paper said, &#8220;The Pirate News.&#8221; It was hand-written, photocopied, then colored by some eight-year-olds. It was fantastic. I asked my son what the story [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the last week or so I have been thinking about the term zugzwang. Have you ever heard that word before? Zugzwang is created when you put someone in a situation where they are forced to move even though any movement would weaken their position. Isn&#8217;t that a beautiful idea? In our hyper-competitive society it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seth Godin is encouraging people to post lists of things that we shipped in the last year. The idea is that we have a tendency to kill ideas, procrastinate, and make excuses. The result is that we don&#8217;t complete things. Our projects don&#8217;t ship. He explains it better than I do, so if you aren&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

I appreciate everyone&#8217;s concern and it is interesting to see how wide of a range my friends have regarding the importance of regular church attendance.
