Two Rook Sacs in the Caro Kann

I have annotated Two Rook Sacs in the Caro-Kann, where I examine two recent games I played in a series of online blitz at Chess.com (my new favorite online play site).  I actually lost the majority of games to this opponent, but these two stood out because they were both well played and featured completely sound rook sacrifices against the Caro Kann.  In the first, I played the Two Knights Variation and stumbled into a very interesting rook sac idea (which I hope to have a chance to try again), and in the second I got a chance to use my knowledge of the Caveman Caro-Kann.
