		<description><![CDATA[After several lengthy conversations with close friends, I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that I don&#8217;t like staying in one place for too long. At this rate it will have been 1.5 months since I last traveled somewhere outside of the Chicago area. That is a long time to me. When you&#8217;ve been used to shuffling [...]]]></description>
