		<title>Thinking About the Unthinkable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had to think the unthinkable last week.  What would happen if I had an accident that prevented me from working ever again?  I know, not a very nice thought, in fact it’s rather morbid, but as a business owner that solely depends on my ability to work to pay the bills&#8230;.well it’s a something [...]]]></description>
