		<description><![CDATA[In Jonah Lehrer&#8217;s recent book, Creativity, he dives into the scientific understanding of creativity &#8211; as a process, and its neurological roots. One of the interesting discussions centers on the finding that, &#8220;our thoughts are shackled by the familiar.&#8221; In other words, the farther we are from a problem (but not too far!), the more [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve bumped into something utterly transfixing, without really trying, and come away enriched &#8211; with the added sense that &#8220;it was meant to be.&#8221; Maybe that&#8217;s how we met a lover (we say bonjour in a cafe, against our intent [...]]]></description>

Washington is evolving at a tremendous pace - you could almost imagine a space port to the east in 50 years. Anyway, I like this photo captured today for a bunch of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DC is a fantastic city. Its coming up, reversing a long back-sliding history. It has weathered British sacking, Civil War encampments, a heavy-handed Eisenhower-era sweep-up, and plunging fortunes after Dr King&#8217;s assassination. Things are looking up today, and the design laid out by L&#8217;Enfant (1791) and later updated by McMillan (1901) have stood up remarkably [...]]]></description>

Asked, &#8220;Does a toe make a good thumb?&#8221; Mr Byrne replied, &#8220;Yes, I [...]]]></description>
