		<title>Summer in Illinois 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once again, the kids and I spent a couple of weeks in Illinois.  They went a little something like this&#8230;
July 4th: After a nutritious lunch of 7-Eleven hot dogs and Slurpees in front of the store, we took a taxi to the Albany hotel where the airport shuttle takes off from.  Hung out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roadside memorial, pay phones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I tell my kids that the teens pictured in this roadside memorial are buried under the metal doors.
What&#8217;s with this roadside memorial anyway?  It&#8217;s been there for almost as long as I&#8217;ve lived in Albany.  Don&#8217;t these kids have real graves that can be decorated with pinwheels and stuff?  It used to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roku Netflix box</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a Netflix subscriber for most of this year now and it&#8217;s a great service.  But what&#8217;s turned it into an awesome service is that box in the picture over there.  That&#8217;s the Roku Netflix player and it rules so much.  It lets me stream 10,000 or so TV and movie [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free pipes at Lowes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago I was standing in a long line at the Alton Lowes, probably buying some home renovation junk.  The guy being checked out at the front of the line had a cart full of drainage PVC pipes.  Expensive pipes and lots of them.  The teenage cashier can&#8217;t get one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coins on the Tracks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Today the kids and I biked to some railroad tracks and put coins on the tracks.  Even though I&#8217;ve lived most of my life near railroad tracks, and played around them often as a kid, I never bothered to try this.  Back then I was more into putting logs and giant pieces of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jog/Weezer/Nerf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just got back from a SIX mile jog.  Ouch.  When I say 6 miles, it&#8217;s more like 3, because I usually jog for one song, walk for the next, etc.  Still, more that I&#8217;m used to doing.  This one took about an hour and 20 minutes.  And wow, the new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend and HOPE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday I went on a 2.5 hour hike, then drove to Portland for a few hours.  Saturday I took my longest jog ever - about 4.5 miles.  Normally I only do about 2.  Sunday I hung out with Sheila all day, hiking, geocaching, dinner and a movie.  For the first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Biking to the movies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
That&#8217;s a picture of Emily throwing her arms up to block a picture from being taken during a small break from riding bikes.  We biked about 5 miles to the movie theater today, then back.  Definitely their longest biking trip to date.  We stopped at their moms, Fred Meyer, and Circle K [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pay Phones of Albany</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Yesterday after work, I biked all over Albany for about 3 hours to take pictures of pay phones.  Why do I want pictures of pay phones?  Well, aside from my lifelong phone obsession, I just think that in another 10 years they&#8217;re all going to be gone and it&#8217;d be cool to have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harry Potter, HHGTTG, Wal-Mart, Hike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finished up Harry Potter #7 today.  I think I started it on Thursday or Friday.  It was easily the best book of the series.  I thought it would be boring when I started it.  I mean really, after 6 books of wizarding crap can the 7th one really be any [...]]]></description>
