		<description><![CDATA[When somebody shames you, take a step back. Don't make quick decisions. You have the right (and duty) to get a second opinion. Guard your choices. They are a sacred gift.

At night, we&#8217;d be in the middle of a Monopoly game and he would mention his sleepiness. Before we&#8217;d had a chance to roll the dice, he&#8217;d disappear into [...]]]></description>
