		<title>Five big stories and a milestone&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SASTP is coming up on  a milestone. 150,000 readers. I&#8217;m told that&#8217;s a lot for a blog.
If you&#8217;ve been counting, I&#8217;m three &#8220;contest winners&#8221; behind. The two who tied for 130,000, Nic and Donna, and the winner at 140,000, Don. I&#8217;m not sure what to do about it. It&#8217;s been a weird, WEIRD busy time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rebecca gave her word…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many of them gave her hugs and thanked her for being there. Some soldiers got off the bus and avoided her. They had been in Iraq for many months but when they stepped off the bus in North Carolina they didn’t say a word to Rebecca.

		<title>New Snow Storm on the way!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thank goodness between the two snow storms we&#8217;ve had, Crowley has acquired a taste for his snowsuit! The first time I put it on him, he just cried&#8230; couldn&#8217;t move and cried! 30 days of strength training later and he can at least move his arms (more like a weak wave), though sitting up for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Answer The Question!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have time now to answer the question many of my journalism friends have asked: Is going from in front of the camera to behind the camera what I hoped it would be?
I really didn’t have very high hopes about the transition to start with. So exceeding my hopes wasn’t going to be hard. That [...]]]></description>

		<title>My peeps keep asking one question&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have television news friends all around the country who have e-mailed me wanting to know just one thing: &#8220;Has the switch from reporting to management been all you hoped?&#8221;
There are other questions: Do you miss reporting? Ever get the itch to go out and cover a story? Don&#8217;t you get tired of sitting inside [...]]]></description>

The snow started falling on our street at about 10:00 Friday night. Crowley was fast asleep and as I headed off to bed, I heard it. The sound of laughing children echoed up and down our frigid block. The sure [...]]]></description>

		<title>SNOW!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up in the Blue Ridge (we live 1.5 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway) we&#8217;re expecting as much as 7 inches of snow tonight.
WOOOO HOOOOO! (I&#8217;m 12.)
Of course it mean I&#8217;ll be working Saturday. We&#8217;ve already had our newsroom &#8220;snow planning&#8221; meeting. Since this isn&#8217;t projected to be the 18-inch snow we got last month, [...]]]></description>

		<title>SASTP Nation, welcome our 2nd sponsor!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Big News! Our second sponsor is another friend Mike and I go a ways back with. We are all about cronyism here. He is one of Mike&#8217;s rock climbing buddies. And just as important, he&#8217;s our financial advisor. And in 2009, when our income went from,
