		<description><![CDATA[It sounded like a good idea at the time.  Immediately after getting off of two international flights to Beijing, go straight to a friend&#8217;s house and run 12-17k.  In the dark. Sweltering heat.  With dust and pollution. Combined with jet lag and lack of sleep.  How wrong could that be?
After de-boarding from my Korea Airlines [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written a lot about climbing and running (well, that is this site  ) and about leadership and teamwork &#8211; but not so much on what it takes to be part of the team.

During the past few weeks, I have been interviewing candidates to be part of our work team and I started thinking [...]]]></description>

The following photo is from his website and rights:

What is interesting is to read about the Everest disaster of May 10, 1996 from his view, where having read it from Jon Krakauer&#8217;s point of view in Into Thin [...]]]></description>

I had two incidents today, both very unrelated.
First, I have been having trouble with my new flat-screen TV since buying it several weeks ago.  The color has been totally off.  The more I adjusted the red and green, brightness, sharpness, tint etc., the worse it got [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking about the term &#8220;nesting&#8221; today.  Mother&#8217;s do it before the birth of their children.  Flight attendants use the term as passengers get settled into their seats before a long flight.  And climbers do it as a mental and physical form of preparation for a big mountain.
As I start the countdown to Everest, [...]]]></description>

With a firm departure date of March 29th and arrival into Katmandhu of March 30th, I have [...]]]></description>

Literally.  While I was in South Africa.
This is Kate with so-and-so executive recruiting agency.  I&#8217;m calling to see if you are interested in discussing an opportunity with Juniper Networks heading their strategic alliance business towards Ericsson.
I say, sure, let&#8217;s talk tomorrow when I am back in Seattle.
