    <about><![CDATA[Right now I'm really into going to the library and checking out books to read aloud to my daughter (born Nov. 2007).  I keep track of the books I read to her with this account, in addition to the few books I manage to read on my own.  I am a former ESL teacher, and I have a special interest in literacy development.]]></about>
