		<title>Catching up with myself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My brother has generously financed and supported my blogging habits for the past five years, handling all technical issues, allowing me to remain blissfully tech-unsavvy for a long time. He&#8217;s urged me to develop better habits, coaxed me into dabbling with new-fangled things like RSS feeds. I must admit, I&#8217;m a curmudgeon at heart, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Giving Thanks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote this late last Wednesday night/early Thursday morning, from my hotel room in Kharkiv. Didn&#8217;t get a chance to post it until now.
It&#8217;s officially the fourth Thursday of November in Ukraine, the traditional day of giving thanks in the United States.
I&#8217;m in Kharkiv tonight, my third city in 3 days during this tour of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flu fear continues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s a week now since the Ukrainian government induced panic in the country about the flu. People seem to be settling into the new realities. It has almost felt like that week between New Year&#8217;s and Christmas in Kyiv, only without all the decorations &#8211; fewer people on the streets and in public transportation, [...]]]></description>

		<title>I finally get it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; this whole social networking &#8220;thing&#8221;. I reconnected with a loooonnnggg lost friend today, after, lord, 15 years? Ever since I&#8217;ve had the tiniest inkling of how to use the internet, I&#8217;ve spent at least one or two afternoons a year searching for him. We lost track sometime in college, I think. I honestly don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Flu, continued</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was just weird. 
Igor was nervous about me going to the office, he suggested several times that I work from home instead. I didn&#8217;t want to give in to the hysteria, but waited until well past rush hour to make the commute. So he fashioned a gauze mask for me to wear over my [...]]]></description>

		<title>H1N1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My colleague&#8217;s neighbor got very sick over the weekend, with a high temperature. Since the consesus has been that those who have died from H1N1-related illnesses waited too long to get medical attention, Ella (my colleague) urged him to call the hospital, to get paramedics to come check him. Instead of help, he was told [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quaratine in Ukraine?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The H1N1 virus has finally arrived in Ukraine, and along with it a big ole dose of overreaction and panic. Reports vary on the number of infected and number of deaths attributable to swine flu, but there seems to be clear consensus that those who have died waited too long to seek medical attention. Then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Village museums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another great weekend in Korosten &#8211; we need to take friends every time! It gives us a great excuse to do something new and different. This time we took up the offer from Igor&#8217;s old friend Sasha to check out the Precious Gem Museum in Volodarsk-Volynskyi, a town about 55 km from Korosten, in an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back in Kyiv &#8211; exhausted, as usual, after two weeks in the US. Managed to be just grams under the weight limit with my luggage (I&#8217;m getting good at that!).
I wish I could have visited with more friends while I was in DC, but the week was really intense and jam-packed. Lots of exciting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The phone rang Wednesday afternoon. I happened to be home for a few minutes between the millions of things I&#8217;m trying to do in my short week in Columbus. But I hesitated to answer, since no one would be calling for me on the home phone. But I picked up. &#8220;Hello,&#8221; I said. Hesitation on [...]]]></description>
