		<title>Building a Kitchen:  Part Two – Installation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another month has flown by with little time for writing. When I last left off, we were busily prepping the kitchen for installation. In early December, we got the floors all finished with a stain that blended well with the floors in the living room and dining room. Ross Ambler from Ambler Joinery was on-site [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building a Kitchen:  Part One – Demolition and Preparation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have wanted to re-do the Wainui kitchen ever since we bought the house four years ago.  The kitchen, while sizeable, is a summer beach house (bach) kitchen, meaning it is very rudimentary and mainly appropriate for minimal use.    Obviously, we’ve been using it heavily over the past four years and have made do, often [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home Sweet Home:   Christchurch &amp; Wainui,  Nov 11 – 30, 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’re home a little over two weeks from our major trip abroad.   I’m thrilled to be home but things have been a bit of a blur as we have arrived in the full force of spring.    Both houses were/are overgrown with weeds and the grass in Wainui was standing proudly at a over a foot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death, Sex, &amp; Taxes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so this post has nothing to do with sex and taxes, but it caught your eye, didn’t it? And if you’ve clicked through to this page, it might do you some good to read it all the way through despite it dealing with the subject of death. The prospect of death has been one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Destination:   Harrison, New York,  October 11 &#8211; 17, 2011,  Part 2,  High School Reunion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now on the second leg of my trip across the States back to San Francisco, I have a few hours to do some debriefing about the reunion weekend. What just happened? The short answer is I had a hell of a good time.  Shockingly so. There were activities throughout the weekend and my reunion festivities [...]]]></description>

		<title>Destination:   Harrison, New York,  October 12 – 17, 2011,  Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’ve just taken off from Westchester County Airport on a beautiful, crisp, autumnal day.   As I look out below, I am reminded once again at the beauty of the area – lots of watersheds surrounded by majestic trees resplendent with their fall colors as far as the eye can see.   In the distance loom the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Few of My Favorite Things:   Friends and Family,  Sept 21 – Oct 10, 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve had quite a hectic three weeks of non-stop movement as we&#8217;ve traversed the wider Bay Area catching up with friends and family. I think we managed to visit with *almost* everyone though there have been a couple of folks we just couldn’t manage to see (really sorry). It’s been great connecting with people and [...]]]></description>
