Until Grandpa offered him $2 to do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t get much accomplished from a work perspective last week. I spent several hours dealing with my first ever &#8220;at fault&#8221; car accident, shopped for a car to replace the totalled one, fulfilled an old promise to take my nephews to the zoo, and celebrated my son&#8217;s 4th birthday at least three times.
