		<title>This turkey likes ukulele.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mark was still in the shower, I was ready for work (right down to the lip gloss and earrings&#8212;I always seem to forget them) and I figured I could sneak a few minutes to play my ukulele before we left for the office this morning.

		<title>Ukuleles at MacWorld</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life isn&#8217;t all strumming and four strings&#8212;I drove over to San Francisco last week to attend MacWorld Expo and experience all things Macintosh (and frankly, to enjoy some top-notch dining and the freshest Dungeness crab on terra firma). I&#8217;ve been attending MacWorld since 1987 (when it was a much smaller event) and never fail to [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Christmas and Ukuleles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There were no ukuleles waiting under the Christmas tree for me yesterday morning (since I hadn&#8217;t asked Santa for any there were no surprises there), but there were three delightful ukulele ornaments from Santa Claus on the piney boughs to delight me.

		<description><![CDATA[
Jake Shimabukuro (with the accent on the &#8220;bu&#8221; part, if you&#8217;re curious), performed at Chico&#8217;s Laxson auditorium last night to a very appreciative crowd and I was on hand for the fun. I&#8217;ve been fortunate enough to hear most of the ukulele &#8220;greats&#8221; in live performances, but I&#8217;d never attended a concert by Jake (I [...]]]></description>
