		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend marked a milestone in the run-up to Everest.  Having committed a few weeks ago and having sent in my down payment and the application accepted, I feel that I have started the training in earnest now.
With a firm departure date of March 29th and arrival into Katmandhu of March 30th, I have [...]]]></description>

Literally.  While I was in South Africa.
This is Kate with so-and-so executive recruiting agency.  I&#8217;m calling to see if you are interested in discussing an opportunity with Juniper Networks heading their strategic alliance business towards Ericsson.
I say, sure, let&#8217;s talk tomorrow when I am back in Seattle.

I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about happiness and being happy lately.
What does that really mean?
Is it when you&#8217;re walking down the hallways at work that your footsteps feel lighter?  Is it when you&#8217;re running and the perfect song comes on and the words are meaningful and completely relevant?  Is it when everything seems just right [...]]]></description>

I am generally pleased with [...]]]></description>

Day Two of the winter climb was to involve going from 10,200&#8242; to about 12,200&#8242; in preparation for summit attempt on (my birthday) Saturday March 7th.  It was a bloody long day after waiting for the sun to come up and warm things up a bit.
It was a totally endless day and involved some 7-8 [...]]]></description>
