		<description><![CDATA[So, I’ve been Jonesing for an eBook reader lately.  I am not really sure why, but I’ve doing all sorts of research, trying to figure out which one is better (between the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes &#38; Noble Nook).  I think the thing that excites me is the idea that I could get rid [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Complaining about being a crappy surfer worked.  Monday night was really good.  Sometimes I kind of like surfing at less-than-awesome spots ‘cause less-than-awesome surfers go there too, which make me feel like I am really good.  It is (almost) always a confidence booster to surf at La Jolla Shores.  Surfing a mile up the road [...]]]></description>
