    <description><![CDATA[We are not talking about the starting time of your own athletic competition... the last of which was probably field day at your junior high school where you took home the purple "honorable mention" ribbons in every event you entered.

So sit back in your lazy boy, grab some Cheetos and a cold one, and listen to this here podcast.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Changye, I think they were even hesitant about having to give me the prize for participation. I was always the one who tripped over her own feet at long jump.
