		<title>A handy list of corporate political donations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This list is from an email that was forwarded to me around election time:
AMERICANS CAN NOW DETERMINE WHERE TO SHOP AND SPEND THEIR MONEY
It purports to report election cycle political donations, as reported by the Center for Responsive Politics (http://www.opensecrets.org/). I haven&#8217;t been able to find this exact list online at their site, but it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cruel to be Kind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my current song obsession. I like other Nick Lowe songs but it&#8217;s really hard to top Cruel to be Kind as a perfect little nugget of pop music. Exactly as long as it needs to be, and even though he had a reputation to just bash out songs, this is perfectly crafted. Listen [...]]]></description>

		<title>All your important song questions answered by a goat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where have all the flowers gone?
I have to be honest, i et &#8216;em. I et &#8216;em all.
Is it really so strange?
It shouldn&#8217;t be, i mean, flowers are delicious. Most of them. Thistles are a bit chewy.
Where are the clowns?
I don&#8217;t keep track of clowns. They don&#8217;t taste good, what with all that greasepaint.
Hello? Is It [...]]]></description>

		<title>The racing days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been biking much to work lately, but I was thinking today about the MN State Cyclocross Championship. It happened this morning over in Crystal, MN, and the weather was on the brutal side; hovering around freezing in the morning and going down from there, the sleet starting mid-morning changing over to snow before [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bike trailer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally finished the bike trailer i started last year. I had it brazed and assembled, but it needed paint and a decent floor (though i used it a couple of times with a canvas floor). It&#8217;s made from 2 mixte frames cut up and re-assembled, a fork for the hitch and 20&#8243; front wheels [...]]]></description>

		<title>First of the horseradish, 1.5 lbs.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have an ever-expanding crop of horseradish in my back yard that will eventually take over the whole neighborhood. It&#8217;ll be pungent, but i&#8217;m really hoping it&#8217;ll knock back the nettles some. 
This is the main root of one of the bigger plants, which turned out to be 3 in one, and it braided itself [...]]]></description>

Visiting my friend David&#8217;s farm today, a beautiful sunset and moonrise. Seeing all the stars in the sky is one of the best things about getting out of the city.

		<title>Everett</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A wonderful and unexpected email from my dad a couple of months ago led to a living room reorganization and impending lessons for me and the girls on the piano. Meet Everett.

I got it from Keys 4 Kids, an organization that fixes up old pianos and resells them (and sometimes gives them away), much like [...]]]></description>
