		<title>Sorry About the Hiatus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past week was way too busy (and boring) to blog.
Sorry for the hiatus.
Why was it busy?
We were getting ready for TWO big events at Pacific Jewish Center that went down yesterday.
Read the two posts about the events by going back to the homepage.
(Spoiler Alert &#8211; They were amazing!)

		<title>Sometimes Role Models Are Athletes</title>

Learn about what I [...]

		<title>RETRACTION: Tim Tebow Ad WAS Harmless NOT Reckless</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So like everyone else, I bought into the hype.
I thought the Tebow ad was going to &#8220;tell his mother&#8217;s story&#8221;. It did not.
She still called him a &#8220;miracle baby&#8221;, but that is not that big a deal.
I apologize for the previous blog post. I wrote what I wrote based on speculation that others made about [...]
