		<title>The Overnight Website Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I cannot remember the last time I stayed up for 24 hours straight.  It certainly hasn&#8217;t happened since I moved to Minnesota, and if I had to tell you, upon penalty of death, the year it last happened when no alcohol was involved, I would be dead.  Last night, I got the chance to do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ahhh&#8230;spring!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After almost two weeks of blah weather &#8211; rain, drizzle, fog, and gray skies, today Mother Nature opted to give us some genuinely spectacular weather.  The unofficial high temp was 66 degrees, with hardly a cloud in the sky.  All the snow is gone, the sidewalks are generally dry, and I can finally see the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Everyone should laugh like this once a day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes when I am bored or depressed or down in the dumps, I like to play this video.  It makes me laugh every time I watch it.  I have never seen a baby belly-laugh like this in real life.  The dog looks like he&#8217;s lovin it too, he&#8217;s getting a belly full of popcorn!]]></description>
