		<description><![CDATA[This string was supposed to be an octave higher!  Tuned to where it was, the string was weak in volume and loose on the fingerboard.  My new hypothesis was that the viola I was renting had a broken tuning peg and that I would now need to have it repaired.  Somehow, I must have broken it already!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yep, I&#8217;m joining the vast ranks of other bloggers in posting my New Year&#8217;s goals for 2012. And truthfully, it&#8217;s hard to put an interesting spin on this, so I posted a video below that at least gives you some entertaining visuals of me butchering music on a viola. Viola? Yes, a viola. No kidding. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Al Worden gave a curious smile and asked me, "How are you doing?"

"Good, how are you sir." I replied.

He gave a look towards the video camera and asked, "What are you up to?"

I responded, "Video taping you."

He looked surprised and said, "Are you!?"

I replied, "Yeah."

He gave his mischievous smile and said, "Well... you got to promise me to delete anything I say that is bad."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sarah finished her overview of the consoles in the control room and was answering questions when suddenly a cell phone rang.  It was made very clear to us that there was no flash photography and no cell phones during the tour.  So why do I hear a cell phone ringing?  Even if our hosts hadn't make a point about no cell phones, I still felt it very rude for someone to be taking a cell call during our Mission Control tour.  Suddenly everyone's attention changed drastically as Ameko announced "Sorry to interrupt... we have 30 seconds of coverage, can everybody hear?   I have Ron Garan on line with us from the International Space Station." Ok, I stand corrected on that whole cell phone business - a ringing cell phone from an astronaut in outer space is never a rude interruption!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["What?  Astro Ron needs a number?  What is she talking about?"  The light rain was becoming heavier and I was starting to become distracted in my driving so I put the phone back in the cup holder, "Sorry Shannon, it'll have to wait.  I have to get to the Tweetup first before I can figure out what this is about."]]></description>

I pulled it out along with the last remains of the bottled water from the Birmingham terminal gift shop.  I put my cell phone on GPS and quickly wolfed down the nutrition bar before getting out of the parking lot and onto the main roads.  I now had finally had my breakfast... sort of.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, I'm already touching a sleeping stranger on an airport bench, but it looks like I was going to have to take it up a notch to get her awake.  I couldn't abandon her, so I looked around seeing we were alone and placed a hand on each of her shoulders, gave her a careful, but firm shake and in my best Jerry Lewis voice yelled, "HEY LAAADY!"]]></description>
