		<title>Hugo Cabret</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I went with my family to see the film version of the book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret.  We read the book to our children a couple years ago and I was excited to see how Martin Scorsese would bring the story to life.  Despite my excitement, the sandman quickly took hold of me. <a href="http://ckrunning.com/hugo-cabret/">Continue Reading</a>]]></description>
