		<title>Golf Lesson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I played golf today in a client&#8217;s foundation golf tournament and shot pretty well. After people see me drive the ball far down the fairway, they inevitably ask me how often I play. The answer is, not much, perhaps five to 10 times a year. Not that I don&#8217;t love the game, I do. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Days Are Numbered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 1982, when I worked for the newspapers in Greenville, SC, I not only labored in the newsroom — writing, editing and designing the pages of the daily papers — I also walked the streets of my neighborhood just a few hundred yards north of downtown on North Main Street, delivering the paper to readers’ [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wallet and keys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, the weather was so nice and warm that Jan and I decided to take a long walk around the neighborhood with our dog, Riley.

		<title>Birthday Cards</title>

I escaped all the black balloons and crepe paper. This year, my staff posted birthdays on the office calendar, so there was no escaping it. So Jan [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mississippi moment, exactly 30 years later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I walked around the Buckhead bar at one of the many trade group networking meetings I attend, this one with SMPS. I walked up to a group of one man and several women I didn&#8217;t know, but they were laughing, a good sign. As I shook hands with the man, I could feel my hand [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Always Remember Your First</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seven years ago this month my friend Bo Jackson asked me to lunch out of the blue. Well, it was sort of out of the blue. I had actually left him voicemail six months before. The key thing is he actually remembered that he owed me a call. &#8220;And,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m buying lunch. &#8220;How&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
