		<description><![CDATA[So ends my 6th week (43 days) in Korea; 46 weeks (322 days) to go.  This week should be a lot quieter than last week.  There&#8217;s nothing major going on, so I should be able to get caught up on things and be home at a descent hour.  Next weekend I&#8217;m going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Talk about busy!  This week was rough.  Meeting after meeting almost every day and exercising (mass-casualty stuff) all day and into the night on Wednesday.  By Friday, I was so looking forward to the weekend!
Today was okay.  I was busy, but it was a self-imposed business.  I spent most of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been nursing this headache for three days now!  My head is absolutely splitting and right behind my left eye.  I try to lie down and the throbbing gets worse.  We had a farewell party for the MXG chief last night in the Chief&#8217;s Den.  A nice event, but this ka-pound, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend sent this to me in an email&#8230;
As many are aware, the French government recently announced a raise in its terror alert level from &#8220;RUN&#8221; to &#8220;HIDE.&#8221;  The normal level is &#8220;GENERAL ARROGANCE,&#8221; and the only two higher levels in France are &#8220;SURRENDER&#8221; and &#8220;COLLABORATE.&#8221;  The rise was precipitated by a recent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I went to the E-Mart in Kunsan City.  E-Mart was Korea&#8217;s first major locally-owned mass retailer (it&#8217;s a lot like Wal-Mart).  Its owners, the Shinsegae Group, better known for their upscale department stores, opened their first E-Mart discount store in November 1993, in the Dobong-gu district of Seoul. They now operate about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I received a letter from my mother today and among the goings on in the family, she told me about an issue with her pastor.  Seems they got into a bit of a debate as to the disposition of Judas Iscariot, Jesus betrayer.  The pastor feels that Judas was redeemed and will go [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I registered my Jeep in Korea today.  It was such a pleasant experience.  I drove to city hall in Gunsan (a 20-minute drive) and found a parking space in a very cramped parking lot (Korean parking spaces are pretty small).  The Korean equivalent of the DMV was on the first floor of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went to dinner this evening with a few of my colleagues.  The restaurant in Kunsan City served only one thing:  EEL!  Naturally, I had my reservations, but to my surprise, it was good.  I was expecting some slimy snake-like water creature still wearing it&#8217;s head, but it wasn&#8217;t like that [...]]]></description>
