		<title>Fat Tire Clone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t get Fat Tire in Oklahoma. The archaic beer laws here are so restrictive that it is impossible to get some of the best craft beers on the market. The one law that really keeps good beer out of Oklahoma is the refrigeration law. In Oklahoma it is illegal to sell beer that is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Very Blackberry Wheat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the temperature in Oklahoma routinely topping 100 degrees, I figured a good summer beer would be a Blackberry Wheat. Sam Adams sells a Blackberry Wheat that I really like. Just a hint of fruit flavor and just perfect for a scorching day. After some investigation I bought a kit from Northern Brewer for my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adventures in Forced Carbonation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been brewing beer from home for a little over a year now. I&#8217;ve probably brewed and bottled six or seven batches in that time. As most home-brewers find out sooner or later, bottling beer is a huge pain. Well… actually it&#8217;s not the bottling as much as the prep-work involved in bottling. All [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on Healthcare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These are just some of my random thoughts about the current healthcare stink. I make no guarantees of accuracy or even sound judgment. Is healthcare a right? The rights in the constitution are things that do not impose on another person&#8217;s rights, and these are rights to action, not property or some sort of service. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Keepers and The Kept</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alexis de Tocqueville once postulated that despotism could only take seed in American democracy through a kind of soft tyranny. He said that this tyranny would &#8220;degrade men without tormenting them.&#8221; He spoke of something that did not yet exist in his world. It was the idea of this tyrant appearing not as an oppressor, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beer Activist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I&#8217;m going beyond beer snobbery to beer activism. What a strange thing to take so seriously&#8230; but this is becoming a passion of mine.]]></description>

		<title>Peripheral Vision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was not a good running back when I played high school football. I was small, not very fast and lacked a killer instinct on the field. My little brother was an excellent running back when he played. He was short, but muscular and fast. He also had a talent that was crucial for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Year of &#8220;DO&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I should have been a great many things.&#8221; This is the response of Jo March in Little Women to a man who declares that she should have been a lawyer because of her abilities to make a strong argument. This line often echos in my mind when I think that I have just had a [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is this?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been awhile since my last post. Just didn&#8217;t have it in me. I seem to have it in me now. Since the day after Christmas I&#8217;ve been riding a small wave of optimism for the new year. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve felt this way in years. I certainly didn&#8217;t feel this way last year. [...]]]></description>

		<title>School Supplies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago, when I arrived home from work, my kiddos were all buzzing with excitement about what they&#8217;d done that day. Turns out that they had gone shopping for school supplies, and they could not wait to show me what they were going to be taking to class this fall. Jonah and Grace [...]]]></description>
