		<description><![CDATA[We took advantage of the 4-day weekend and Adrian&#8217;s upcoming birthday (tomorrow!) to go visit friends in the Bay Area. This time around we didn&#8217;t do what we usually do, which is spend too much time and money in The City. Instead, we poked around Oakland and even wound up spending a day in Antioch.

		<description><![CDATA[We had a Ford Focus for 4 days and it came with SiriusXM Radio. It was an interesting time, but I&#8217;m still not sure that service is worth $10 &#8211; $20 a month. Here&#8217;s a handful of things I&#8217;ve discovered about the service and myself: There really is no need for a Grateful Dead station [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The MINI was towed yesterday and the mechanic said it wasn&#8217;t the clutch, it was the transmission. Again. This will make it the 4th transmission in the 8 years we&#8217;ve had the car. Luckily, the first one was replaced under warranty. I believe the 2nd, we only paid half the price and the dealership covered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Sunday, panic ensued because it sounded like the MIL was ready to buy us a car of her choosing. I felt we didn&#8217;t need a car because our 8 year old MINI was running just fine, gets good gas mileage, is fun to drive and is perfect for city driving. To be sure, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been offered a &#8220;gift&#8221; of a new car.  The string attached, is that the car must seat 5, comfortably.  You know, unlike our MINI Cooper. The last 3 cars we&#8217;ve bought were months and months of research and test driving. I think normal people do it much quicker. This &#8220;gift&#8221; is a race against [...]]]></description>

This mandatory program began this week and runs until June 8th. Parents of Pre-K students must attend the classes or risk having their child removed from Pre-K. As you [...]]]></description>

Imagine my surprise when I picked my child up from school and she had pictures. What you&#8217;re seeing here is an 8&#215;10, 5&#215;7, [...]]]></description>
