		<title>How can we take you seriously, PapaRazzi??</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of us who have worked even one day in Africa and seen the suffering of those people living with AIDS, no, dying from AIDS, despite our faith, our religion, our background, we recognize the importance of sensitization and prevention campaigns that are candid, frank and practical.  Telling people not to have sex will [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tirunesh.wordpress.com&blog=197887&post=136&subd=tirunesh&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

2. Even when my fridge is virtually empty, I can make a gourmet dinner for two.

		<title>Confessions of Guest Author #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Oh Tirunesh you crack me up like no other blog aspires to!
 
Perhaps it is because I can picture you typing away, deep in thought, taking it out on the keyboard. 
 
Perhaps it is because I LOVE metaphors and this one on Thermodynamics deserves to be recognized as a great one!

I mostly use [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tirunesh.wordpress.com&blog=197887&post=125&subd=tirunesh&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>If it&#8217;s not Thermodynamics&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;it&#8217;s certainly estradiol.  It appears that this hormone will prove to be my best friend and my worst enemy in this life. But, there is nothing to be done.  I was born with curves and I will die with curves.  Hopefully, at some point in between, I&#8217;ll be able to get myself under control.
Anyway, who&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tirunesh.wordpress.com&blog=197887&post=123&subd=tirunesh&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>On Thermodynamics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I studied physics in university, I HATED thermodynamics.  There was something about it that I just didn&#8217;t get.  Today, it finally all made sense to me.  In a eureka moment this afternoon, it finally occurred to me that I am the poster child for Thermodynamics.
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tirunesh.wordpress.com&blog=197887&post=112&subd=tirunesh&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was a kid and my parents would talk about stuff that happened &#8220;decades&#8221; ago, I used to think they were ancient and that I&#8217;d never get to that point of referring to time in decade intervals&#8230;  Boy was I wrong.
I&#8217;m not sure when so much time passed, but it did.  And [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tirunesh.wordpress.com&blog=197887&post=98&subd=tirunesh&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

2. Africa is a really cool place to be when the first Black President is elected in US.
3. I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tirunesh.wordpress.com&blog=197887&post=92&subd=tirunesh&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
