		<title>Bald Eagle dies at Brookfield</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Brookfield Zoo euthanized Leah the Bald Eagle today due to complications from respiratory issues. Leah had been at the zoo for more than three decades after having been found in Minnesota with an eye injury.  
Bummer&#8230; it&#8217;s always sad to hear about animals dying in captivity like this. I&#8217;m not sure what the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homeschooling?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thinking about perhaps homeschooling my son next year instead of sending him to second grade at the public school. He&#8217;s behind in a couple of content areas (particularly reading and writing), and I want to take care of that before he lags even more. I think the best way to do this is to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eagletone Electric Guitar from Buy.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ My son Alex has been begging us for a guitar and lessons ever the beginning of the year. This all started because of Guitar Hero 3 on Xbox, which he began playing during last summer vacation, and eventually became hooked on. Alex actually does pretty well on the game &#8212; not on Expert Level [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saw &#8220;Inception&#8221;!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d be able to see Inception this weekend, but a couple people had to cancel on a lunch I was planning to attend, so that freed up my schedule a bit. I caught a matinee showing this afternoon and was blown away by the film!! Usually I am wary about movies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Salt Trailer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am usually not a fan of Angelina Jolie&#8217;s films, but I have to admit that Salt looks pretty damn good! I definitely want to see it in theaters. I&#8217;m not sure when that will happen, though. I still have to see Inception, too, which I thought I was gonna do this weekend &#8212; until [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunpak PicturesPlus Tripod at Buy.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Like most families, we love taking photos of not only vacations and special events, but also of daily life. The problem is that we seldom get everyone in the photos because there always needs to be at least one person behind the lens. Sometimes when we&#8217;re out and about, we can ask a passerby [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roenick inducted in Hall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Jeremy Roenick, my favorite Blackhawks player when I was a kid, will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame for the class of 2010. I loved Roenick when he was drafted as an 18-year-old kid out of Boston, and pretty much stopped following the Hawks after he was traded to Phoenix in that [...]]]></description>
