		<description><![CDATA[I am currently in the midst of reading the Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The author describes a Black Swan as a high-impact, hard-to-predict, rare event beyond the realm of normal expectations.

		<description><![CDATA[We celebrated our company&#8217;s Christmas party last night at a local restaurant. My wife and I went early so we could grab something quick to eat before everyone else arrived. As we waited for our meals to be served I thought about the next chapter of my life.
I&#8217;ve been thinking about this a lot lately, mostly due to the fact that I have been interviewing many different people for the feature I&#8217;m writing for the next issue of the magazine. I have come to the realization that, with no journalism ...]]></description>

Richard Skanse of Texas Music Magazine asked me to give him my top ten of the decade for a big list they are compiling. I balked at first, unable to come up with more than two or three, but when Richard reminded me that it was my favorite albums of the decade and not The Best Albums of the decade, it was no trouble at all.
