		<title>Top 10: My iTunes Play Count</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
My friend and I have had some cool discussions over the last few days about our iTunes libraries. Both of us have have been collecting CDs since our high school days in the mid 90&#8217;s. As a result, our iTunes libraries are 5,000+ songs.
Today my friend asked about my top 10 played songs on iTunes. [...]]]></description>

Rule 2: Don&#8217;t Forget Your Debts
Debt: the necessary evil of modern life. We take out loans for education, for cars, and homes. Some people even have tons of unsecured debt. Some people can handle the debt and some can&#8217;t. A manly man knows how to manage his debt. A manly man honors his debt.
I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manly Vegas Entertainment: Phantom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

Like I mentioned in my previous post, the wife and I enjoyed a few days alone in Vegas. We did the fancy dinner and stayed at a fancy hotel. The last piece of the puzzle: a Vegas show with the wife.
Before I booked tickets, we got advice from our friends and family about what shows [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
My wife needed a break from the kids. Ever since our first boy was born 4.5 years ago, we haven&#8217;t had a single day alone. Thanks to some scheduling for work, I planned a quick getaway to Las Vegas. We dropped our boys off with my parents and headed for Vegas.
Since it would probably be [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Boy&#8217;s First Filling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
It was bound to happen sometime. My wife and I both struggle with cavities, so it was only a matter of time before our oldest son got his first cavity. Well, today he had to get his filling. Somehow my wife declared it was my job to take him in for his first filling.
Not fun. [...]]]></description>

Yep. You read that right. $13.50 for 7Up. I was ripped off. Here&#8217;s how it happened:
The wife and I enjoyed a few days alone in Las Vegas las week. We stayed at the Aria, the newest resort/casino. Wanting to impress my wife with a fancy dinner, I made reservations at Jean-Georges Steakhouse. It did not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
8 years. I knew this day would come. My trusty PC officially died on Monday February 1, 2010. A lot changed in those 8 years: RAM upgrade, hard drive upgrade, DVD burner upgrade, one complete reformatting and reinstall, one new controller board, and a new power supply. We accomplished a lot together: school projects, a [...]]]></description>

My son was playing a game on my iPhone right before bedtime the other night. I loved the way the iPhone lit up his face and I wanted to capture that. I used my programmed setting, but the camera was trying to make up for the lack of light. It opened the apture all the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quality Time With the Wife</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
After watching District 9 and Mongol, I owed my wife a solid chick flick. I made sure the movie at the top of our queue was The Proposal. I like Sandra Bullock, so I was OK with watching the movie. Plus, I had my iPhone handy just in case the movie got boring. However, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Khan&#8217;s 1st Rule</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
This is part one (of four) in my attempt to explain why I think Genghis Khan&#8217;s four laws are manly and should be followed. These are lessons I want my sons to learn.
Rule 1: Don&#8217;t kill women or children
That&#8217;s a pretty simple law, and I&#8217;m sure Genghis meant that literally.  His men were warriors; so, [...]]]></description>
