		<title>Half a month down in 2012: Are Your Priorities Showing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a topic I covered a while back in a column on showing, rather than telling, your priorities, but here it is in a nutshell . . . There&#8217;s no sense in bothering with excuses &#8212; least of all to yourself &#8212; for what your priorities have been. Just acknowledge that your behaviors have [...]]]></description>

		<title>211 Workouts.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I set a new personal record in the deadlift. That workout was #211 of the year, meaning that I met the goal I set for myself earlier this year. Three things I&#8217;ve figured out from this: 211 workouts is not actually a lot for a year. It&#8217;s more than most people do, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t make it more complicated than it is.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When something is legitimately complicated, we have an easy out: we&#8217;re not supposed to get it / learn it / master it on the first go, and we can even elicit others&#8217; sympathy for making an effort. &#8220;You&#8217;re reading Ulysses? I&#8217;m too scared to even try.&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;re taking organic chem? That would be totally over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morning weights.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Early-morning weights to make the blood sing. Quiet and still, the air begs to be riven by plate on plate. Yoga if it moves you, or running; the cold swim; writing That Thing which lurks in shadows of hurly- burly days. Pray, sip, think; meditate, prostrate your Self to some Thing larger— or beyond. Early [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving beyond the Foothills</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a creator, especially one with a day job, it&#8217;s only too easy to get stuck in the foothills. You do solid work, you earn a measure of respect from people whose respect you crave, and you carve out a safe place for yourself. But in that safety lies danger &#8212; the danger that you&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seeking new failures.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;A year after I&#8217;d stopped waking up in the middle of the night, consumed with remorse, I wanted new failures. I was tired of the same old regret.&#8220; My college friend Sarah Hepola has been writing for Salon for a while now. Her recent article, &#8220;When I finally stopped going to bars,&#8221; demonstrates why. For [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Austin Independent School District starts next Monday. You can imagine how stoked my kids are for this. A.I.S.D. has had a slew of challenges over the past year or two. Some of these are common to school districts across Texas, and they can be summed up under the heading &#8220;Way Less Money.&#8221; My sister, [...]]]></description>
