		<title>MxMo Rum: The Short Timer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I quit.
Okay, so I said it a lot nicer than that, and I gave plenty of notice so as not to burn my bridges and all that kind of thing, but while my presentation lacked the cathartic release I&#8217;d long hoped for, the fact remains: I&#8217;m leaving the safety and security of the day job [...]

		<description><![CDATA[
Okay, the polls on the Mixology Monday logo contest have closed (I had to disable the poll to make it stop counting, but that also means the results won&#8217;t display to everyone &#8212; you&#8217;re gonna have to trust me on this one), and here&#8217;s where things stand: 300 people cast votes on their choice of [...]

Vote on the handy ballot if you haven&#8217;t already, or if you&#8217;re enamored with the original version, follow the example set by the second-best bartender in Seattle and chime in down in the comments section (but go [...]

		<title>Last call for logos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a reminder that if you&#8217;re working on a new Mixology Monday logo for the design contest, the deadline is today. I&#8217;ll put up the options tomorrow morning my time (probably around 9 a.m. Pacific US), so if you get it to me by then, that&#8217;s fine. There are several great candidates in the running, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;A Time-Tested Favorite from Venezuela&#8221;
So wrote Charles H. Baker, traveler, raconteur, and possibly the ultimate fan of exotic tippling.
Yesterday I posted the details from an e-mail exchange I recently had with New York bartender and writer St. John Frizell over at Blogging Tales of the Cocktail. That exchange came at a time when I&#8217;ve been [...]

		<title>Fifteen men on a &#8230; wait, how does that go?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case you haven&#8217;t noticed, I&#8217;m a big fan of rum. Today, the editors at the San Francisco Chronicle let me overindulge this interest; read my rum-fuelled babblings right here:
Rum&#8217;s Ship Comes In
With bartenders and consumers exploring its many facets, the previously low-rent liquor is gaining new respect
And a word to the wise &#8212; try [...]

		<title>Freshening up MxMo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fresh off cleaning up my own site for the first time in years, I was thinking it might be time to take a fresh look at Mixology Monday, especially considering that we&#8217;re now entering the third year of this monthly cocktail event.
Way back in April 2006, eight of us got together online to swap recipes [...]

		<title>MxMoXXVI: Keep the Nose Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two years.
I hadn&#8217;t pointed it out earlier &#8212; thanks to all the other things I&#8217;ve been wrangling with lately, I kind of forgot &#8212; but this month marks the second anniversary of the launch of Mixology Monday (this month hosted by the wonderful Anna at Morsels &#38; Musings). I&#8217;ll save the misty sentimentality for another [...]

		<title>New Look</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After more than two years with the same theme, and about a year and a half of talking about changing it, I finally got my act together and spent some time working on it. I know, some bloggers switch themes every time they change their clothes, but I&#8217;m, um, especially challenged when it comes to [...]
