		<description><![CDATA[Although I&#8217;m now officially an old man, I&#8217;m still trying to prove otherwise. On Sunday I biked from San Jose to the top of Mt. Hamilton, site of the Lick Observatory. (On a clear day, you can see the domes from Silicon Valley). It&#8217;s about a 20 mile, 4200 foot climb to the summit, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night I left work early to go visit Parvati Darshan (Parvati Hill), one of the major attractions in Pune. Parvati is 260 foot high hill right in the center of town. You have to climb 103 steps from street level to the summit. It&#8217;s good exercise. Last week a young man set a new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday, I again left Pune for the hill station of Lonavala. It&#8217;s a town about half-way between Pune and Bombay, and a favorite day trip for people from both towns.
We also visited the Bhaja Caves which are rooms and temples cut out of the rock face by Hinayana monks in the 2nd century BC.

		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday, two guys from the office were nice enough to go with me to Sinhagad, a mountain top fort about 30 km from Pune. It was good to get out of the crowds, traffic and pollution of the city. And the countryside is beautiful during monsoon season! The hills are all green, and shrouded [...]]]></description>

Stomach, fever &#38; chills &#8211; the works. I took some drugs, went to bed that night and slept 10  hours, then got up on Wednesday and taught my class. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I still haven&#8217;t seen that much of Pune yet. Sunday my driver pointed out a few sights. He only speaks a few words of English, and I don&#8217;t speak any Hindi or Marathi. So he would say &#8220;Here prison Gandhi. Here hospital Gandhi die&#8221;.
But driving in town is a very exciting experience. There&#8217;s always lots [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m spending 2 weeks at our office in Pune, India. I arrived on Sunday morning, and have not seen much of the area yet. But I did a bit of sight-seeing on Sunday, and have some first impressions.
From the air, Pune is a lot greener than near Delhi. Surrounded by low green hills. And the [...]]]></description>

Fortunately, I was staying at the Radisson hotel near the airport, and someone from the hotel was waiting for me when I arrived. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A month ago, Prof. John Hoberman wrote a scathing review of drugs in professional cycling for MSNBC. As the Tour de France collapsed in scandal this week, it&#8217;s worth reviewing Dopers on Wheels: The Tour&#8217;s sorry history.
Hoberman says that drugs have always been a part of professional cycling, beginning with caffeine and cocaine fuelled six-day [...]]]></description>

I really don&#8217;t want anyone telling me how it all ends. I have to cover my ears and scamper back to my desk, shouting &#8220;I&#8217;m not listening to you, la la la &#8230;&#8221;
