		<title>Driving in Snow through Kildare on New Year&#8217;s Eve 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On New Year&#8217;s Eve 2009 I made the 25 minute trip to a friends&#8217; house to wipe their kids&#8217; noses, change nappies, read bedtime stories and other fun New Year&#8217;s activities, while they went out to do something involving alcohol, singing and hugging strangers.
It was freezing as I left home. The roads had not been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Floods and Damaged Goods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kildare, unlike the west and south of the country, was relatively unscathed by the recent flooding. Some small pockets, most notably Johnstown and Sallins, were hit and hit badly. Even then the damage was confined to particular housing estates.
I was visiting a client, a farmer, in one of those areas the other day. Small talk [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Growth of Business Networks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Networking as a means of making contacts has always been a vital component of  any business model. Chambers of commerce and associations such as ISME, while essentially lobbying groups, have a long history of providing the structures to facilitate this.
There are others. Since the recession began to kick in many, many more have sprung up [...]]]></description>

		<title>The effects of armed forces service</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vincent joined the Reserve Defence Forces, or FCA as it was then, when he was 17. Why he didn&#8217;t join the regular army I never asked. While all things military were his passion, perhaps he seen a better living to be made in business. And he has had many businesses down the years, most recently [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cartoon Industry Undergoes Dramatic Changes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently interviewed D. Chip Monke, Children&#8217;s Cartoon Industry analyst with Gartner.  Monke&#8217;s research confirms what many have suspected for some time now &#8211; dramatic changes are taking place and more is to come.
Given the current state of the global economy this is not unexpected.  The cartoon industry is not exempt. Indeed, nor are it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now. Where was I?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh yeah. I was away.
Okay. Away is putting it lightly. I now realise I haven&#8217;t touched this blog since July 1. Funny that &#8211; I thought my last post was about 6 weeks ago. Serves me right for messing with the space-time continuum.
So what was I up to? Bugger all of interest really. Work mainly. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of all the bars &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of all the bars in all the world I go to one in particular. The reason is simple &#8211; the world is too far away &#8211; this bar is nearby. A local local we call Grandad&#8217;s. See bar staff are like grandparents &#8211; they get lonely and it&#8217;s your duty visit them now and again.
