		<title>Must Be Spring I Guess</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Settled in front of TV to watch KU v K State Big 12 Championship final game on TV and suddenly wafting through the air from outdoors came &#8220;ding-ding, ding-ding, ding-ding&#8221;. Yep, ice cream truck. Even if I&#8217;d wanted some genuine ice cream truck treats, I couldn&#8217;t have got to the street in time, as I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Technology and Efficiency</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I know, I should write something about Christmas and New Year, but I ain&#8217;t got time right now. I really need to use my time more efficiently. This was supposed to be something technology was going to do for us. But, as I often lament, technology (computers, in particular) seems to rob me of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Next Up: Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last time I wrote it was almost Thanksgiving. Now Thanksgiving is history and next up is Christmas. Incredible. Just thought I&#8217;d post a reminder about the Chappell&#8217;s Google Sites Home. It&#8217;s sort of a duplicate genealogy site, not as complete as the Ancestry section of the regular Chappells Site, but different and kind of interesting. [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Almost Thanksgiving ?!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ALMOST Thanksgiving? Might as well BE Thanksgiving. I&#8217;ve said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again &#8211; the universe is undergoing time compression at an accelerated rate. Sure, it&#8217;s slow enough you don&#8217;t notice it from day to day. It&#8217;s like your kids growing up. They look the same today as they did yesterday, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beware Email Address Theft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[BEWARE, people. Some jerk (or maybe just idiot if allowed the benefit of the doubt) has been using, and trying to hijack, my bandolero email address. He&#8217;s been using it as the &#8220;contact email&#8221; for accounts he creates on unsavory (though some would say titillating) &#8220;social&#8221; websites, and also when ordering &#8220;toys&#8221; from advertisers on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home Away&#8230; Really Away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;&#160;&#160;I was down at Iola, Kansas today doing some title work at the courthouse. It had probably been a few years since the last time I was there. I noticed a few changes. One that threw me was the highway had been changed so it comes in East of town, instead of basically right into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upgrade, Upgrade, Upgrade&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No sooner did I heed to the urgent message from WordPress to upgrade to version 2.8.1 than here comes the message to upgrade to version 2.8.2. Well, I think it&#8217;ll wait a day or two. Y&#8217;see, I not only have to upgrade the Chappell Family Blog, but my Oil &#38; Gas Attorney Blog, and Bandolero&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Older Faster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no question: the older you get, the faster you get older. I noticed, however, that time slowed up about 50% while in California the first week of June. It struck me clearly the first full day there; seemed like two days&#8217; worth of time and they were all like that. This would support the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good-Bye Family Van</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a long time I periodically charged the battery and started it up, and inflated the tires. But finally the tires wouldn&#8217;t keep air more than an hour, and I hadn&#8217;t started the engine for about a year. So, I gave &#8216;er to my old friend Jim Vantuyl of Vantuyl Motors, and he arranged to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mystery Relatives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently sent the famly an invite to look at some picasaweb photos I&#8217;d uploaded, and the result was general confusion. The subjects in the photos were relatives on Becky&#8217;s side. Becky has two brothers, Mike and Jeff, and two sisters, Judy and Sherri. They all have kids. Mike&#8217;s kids are Jennifer and Eric. Eric [...]]]></description>
