		<title>Double Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While on duty last week I had multiple people come into the office and make a remark about the Double Down; clearly, it's arrived in the public consciousness.  Since I forgot to grab my lunch on the way into work, I was pretty hungry by the time I was relieved and was thinking about it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ringing the bell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I instruct in the TH-57 - very similar to the "news helicopters" of the 80s and 90s.  Carries 5 people, two blades, skids to land on.  We use it because it's cheap, reliable, easy to fix, has readily available parts, etc. etc.  Considering all we put the birds through, it's a beast.  For example, on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s flight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Weather was skosh while driving in, but we briefed anyway in anticipation of the clouds lifting later in the afternoon.  After briefing I saw a lot of red CNX WX up on the ops board and my studs were giving me a bit of pressure to cancel.  I had a feeling that we just needed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stereotypes and Communication</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Genie had a nice exploration of stereotypes - especially gender stereotypes - which led off with what I assume to be a tongue-in-cheek assertion of "stereotypes are a real time-saver."  That's true; stereotypes let us stay in our established boundaries with established norms and don't really demand too much in the way of cognition.  Sort [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paved with good intentions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn't really anticipate the extent of weather and  ops-related delays in getting started with students, but here I am - 2 weeks in, not quite ready for prime time and still one IP/IP flight left.  Although I'm hoping to have my first students on Tuesday or Wednesday, I'm not terribly concerned about it.  Hell, [...]]]></description>

		<title>First &#8220;Instructor&#8221; Flight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got to the squadron around 8:15 - brief was at 8:45.  Had to ask a couple people where all the stupid preflight planning stuff was, like a weight and balance form and the grade cards, which took up some of my extra time, but I still made it to the skipper's office in time for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kendra signed us up for something of a rarity - a tour of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo and a greeting/blessing by the Emperor and the Royal Family on the 2nd.  With the exception of this event, the Imperial Palace is closed to the public, so it was a unique experience to say the least.
