		<title>Freezer Jam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in July, Michelle, the girls and I went out to Sauvie Island to pick berries. The trip was a blast, and the girls came home a mess.

		<description><![CDATA[Sunday (Jul 11th) night I flew to Chicago for a software/user conference for work. I&#8217;ve only been through O&#8217;hare and never to Chicago proper.

		<title>Fieldwork, day 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Monday, I hit the road again back to McMinville for another data collection trip to another 5th grade class. Despite how attractive Yamhill County is, I am glad that I won&#8217;t be spending another 2 hours in the car for 20 minutes of fieldwork.
