		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I had a dream in which I visited a friend in Georgia at &#8220;his father&#8217;s home.&#8221; I&#8217;d never been there. In fact I&#8217;ve never met his father. Nonetheless, the dream was surprisingly vivid and I was able to recall the basic &#8211; and I thought later &#8211; very interesting design of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend recently asked if I could make a &#8220;cat sarcophagus&#8221; for her daughter&#8217;s upcoming eighth birthday party. Along with the proposal she included a snapshot of a &#8220;cat mummy&#8221; from London. Coincidentally, a few months prior, National Geographic had a cover issue dedicated to pet mummies of ancient Egypt, which my family had loved. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week&#8217;s New Yorker cover struck me with some mixed emotions. Great to see it take the format of Time, Life and other &#8220;people&#8221; oriented news magazines by featuring the portrait of a person of prominence (yeah, whatever). Actually, a very important figure, our new President, Barack Obama.But a couple of things seemed amiss. First, [...]]]></description>
