		<title>via Thailand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In early December we spent 10 days in Thailand on our way back to the US. We scheduled three nights at a resort in Hua Hin, about a 3-hour drive south from Bangkok on the Gulf of Thailand and three nights in Chiang Mai, up in northern Thailand. We book-ended this with three nights in [...]]]></description>

		<title>The bogongs return</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The bogong moths are back. You might remember our first spring in Sydney, when we experienced a bogong invasion in our Surry Hills apartment. Then last year we had just a few briefly stop by our new place. But this spring they are back with a vengeance! 

The moths are big and hairy and kind [...]]]></description>

		<title>Business Travel at Its Best</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing some pretty regular travel lately for work and I am 0 for 2 on recent hotels. One of the features of most of my business travel is that it ain&#8217;t very fancy. Usually stints at the Novotel or Travel Lodge chains, and various cattle class flights (no business class for me).
Mostly I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Real Holiday on the Great Barrier Reef</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eric and I recently spent a week up in northern Queensland for a long-awaited holiday. It&#8217;s winter here in Sydney, and it&#8217;s been a pretty wet and miserable one so far, so I was really aching to be someplace warm and sunny. Normally it is not Eric&#8217;s idea of fun and relaxation to go to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pasha Bulker beached in Newcastle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Waves crash against the Pasha Bulker
We spent the day Saturday with Manuel going for a drive up to Newcastle. It was a sunny day, which is a rare thing these days. Our mission - apart from just getting out of the city for a while and seeing something different for a change - was to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Patrons of the Arts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Angela and I have been impressed with several of the artists that show at our friend David&#8217;s gallery, and recently we did something about it. We don&#8217;t have much art, and what we do have is packed up and stored in the US. But we decided for Xmas last year to treat ourselves to something [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autumn Comes in Spring!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Autumn and Angela at the Harbour Bridge
This is a belated post that is long, long overdue. A good friend from my grad program at CMU was here to visit just before Thanksgiving. Autumn was the first non-family to come and visit, and we loved having her. She spent 5 days in Sydney before heading off [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas In Sydney</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We enjoyed another lovely Christmas Lunch with David and Manuel and 8 other guests at the gallery. After several overcast days of rain (downpours on christmas eve), we had a gorgeous sunny afternoon on Monday with clear blue skies and temperatures in the low 70&#8217;s. Which was perfect for the barbequeing David had planned for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Site back up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Edit: It looks like I have things back to normal, for the most part. And photo.qwip.org and upandonward.qwip.org should also be working now.
My hosting provider (Vizaweb) went &#8220;lights out&#8221; for the past two days. This was a problem, as the most recent local backup I had was from June. That meant I had lost everything [...]]]></description>
