		<description><![CDATA[Since last weekend, I&#8217;ve had dogs and cats on the brain. Chewing on the different approaches of the two animals, I realized you could easily take those dynamics and apply them to employee interactions in an office setting.
Are you a dog or are you a cat?  I don&#8217;t mean which one do you prefer; I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you go to a concert, it seems there&#8217;s an element of magic to the event. The music, the lighting, the vibe being built ahead of time. It all combines to bring the fans the best show possible. It lets those in attendance leave their &#8220;real lives&#8221; behind for awhile and take in this electricity. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve found Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap and in the stores, signifying Fall&#8217;s approach and it elicited squeals of delight from me. (It&#8217;s my favorite seasonal brew!)

		<description><![CDATA[This last weekend I had both a dog and a cat in my house. Growing up, I always considered myself a &#8220;dog person&#8221; with a dislike for cats. That dislike probably came more from others not liking cats than any real opinion of my own, because once I got my first cat&#8230; I began to [...]]]></description>
