		<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>

		<title>roof rake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought a roof rake tonight on the way home, after all the dire talk about ice dams and seeing videos of people using chainsaws to clear their roofs. I feel like a real Minnesotan, alright.
Except that as i drove through the neighborhood home, i noticed that pretty much all the roofs were completely clear [...]]]></description>

		<title>The snowstorm wanderlust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have 18&#8243; of snow and counting from the huge storm that rolled through in the last 24 hours or so. Even for the Twin Cities in Minnesota this is a significant snowfall: stores closed early or never opened, Metro Transit stopped bus service after 50 busses got stuck in the streets, mail wasn&#8217;t delivered [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m walking the dog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m walking the dog, and she&#8217;s getting grey and slow and i wonder how many walks we have left. Sure, she&#8217;ll chase a squirrel and a bird and a rabbit if she sees it, but between those adventures she&#8217;s dragging and lingering, digging her nose through the bushes and leaves on the ground. 
The neighborhood [...]]]></description>
