		<title>The Blond Boy and the Bonfire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not to pat my own back, but I really like the title of this post.  It sounds like an episode of Bones or CSI.

		<title>Expect the Unexpected</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it&#8217;s true.  Today when I answered the door, at the sound of my annoying doorbell, I got more than I bargained for.  It wasn&#8217;t the postman.
