		<title>The Head Hancho</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yo, did you know that &#8220;hancho&#8221; is a Japanese word?  I didn&#8217;t until I got on the horn a few weeks ago with a man from one of the Nippon Pro Baseball teams.
He&#8217;s an older Japanese gentleman who spent some time working and studying on the East Coast, losing his job after a company [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dann7&#8217;s Revenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By popular demand (one person), here is the story behind the world&#8217;s most comfortable throne and how I came to have one in my very own home.
It starts in a typical Isla Vista, California scene with four guys crammed into a two-bedroom apartment.  One of them was a clean freak and got a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fastest Biker in Kochi, Part III</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, at this point, I&#8217;m still the fastest biker in Kochi.
I was wondering where the challenges lay.
I didn&#8217;t have to wonder much longer.  We stopped to regroup and prepare for the most difficult stretch of the day - a six-mile climb of 2,400 feet to the top of Tengu&#8217;s Plateau.  We could see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fastest Biker in Kochi, Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am the fastest biker in Kochi.
The time finally came to officially try out my new horse with KCTC.  I came out with the bicycle a couple of Sundays ago, still not fully committed to buying it and fixing it up.  Rain and an out-of-town bike race left me standing at the Bike [...]]]></description>

		<title>Took the Plunge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a year of toiling on The Club of bicycles and months of fretting over what step to take next, I finally purchased a used road bicycle that is as good as new to me!
Despite how much I enjoyed my role as the clown and caboose of KCTC, I wanted to feel what it was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to a Halloween party last Friday night dressed as a baseball player.  I had authentic gear from the team I work for, so the other guests were impressed and thought it was cute that I was such a rabid fan.
However, I couldn&#8217;t help but think that one disadvantage to moving abroad is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Game On, Clothes Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Hello, my name is Mac.  I teach across the street at that technical high school and I love baseball.  I help out the baseball team on Thursdays and Fridays by hitting fungoes and-&#8221;
&#8220;Wait a minute, I know you,&#8221; said the sharply-dressed man sitting to my right.  &#8220;Do you remember me?  We [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skits and Giggles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My school does just about anything to get out of holding academic classes.  I don&#8217;t know how intentional it is, but our class schedule gets pounded and tossed around like pizza dough.
A look at the schedule for the first half of the fall quarter revealed a twisted mess with little consistency or balance.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Naka</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Naka.  It&#8217;s one of those Japanese words that doesn&#8217;t have a good, single English translation.
&#8220;Relationship&#8221; would be closest for me, but it seems to be that with an element of exclusivity.  It&#8217;s as though naka acts as a dividing line between those who are privy to the relationship and those who are not.

		<title>In the Ribs!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve yet to use a phrase that is taboo for me, but lately I have been admitting to people that I&#8217;m tired of baseball.  Japanese baseball, that is.
I went hard at it this summer and the season has lasted too long for me.  Later, I&#8217;ll go more into what happened on my end, [...]]]></description>
