		<title>The Senate and the Feminine Fork</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Articles I recommended to students this morning and thought you might appreciate, too: Does Your Language Shape How You Think? Turns out that the old-ish idea that your mother tongue shapes your perception of the world is actually quite true &#8211; from the gender of forks to whether you write with your &#8220;south&#8221; or &#8220;right&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the Queue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s in my browser and/or Instapaper queue today (which means I haven&#8217;t read most of it, but I was interested enough to open the link and plan to read it later): An interview with Ken Myers (of Mars Hill Audio Journal, which I cannot possibly praise enough) from last year&#8217;s fall edition of Comment. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obligatory post about twentysomething article</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The obligatory bellyaching over what&#8217;s wrong with twenty-somethings and the &#8220;trend&#8221; of emerging adulthood appeared in the New York Times Magazine this weekend. It&#8217;s not anything terribly illuminating &#8211; the Times is fairly legendary at being behind on trend coverage. As I read it, I was considering a response, but someone on the interwebs &#8211; I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>The mind that is not baffled is not employed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rodney Clapp quoted Wendell Berry in his lecture last night at the Glen: It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Go West, Young Lady</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing this from my iPhone as I wait for my plane in Dallas to finish loading en route to Albuquerque, ending later today in Santa Fe (Lord willing and the creek don&#8217;t rise, since I&#8217;m in Texas and all). Up too early (3:30am EST) and will undoubtedly be up too late (TBD MST), but [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Am Starting To Believe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do have a degree in information technology and computer science from a very old, very well-respected engineering school, but I stayed miles away from anything resembling sci-fi while I was there. I was a senior before I saw the Star Wars trilogy, and my introduction to Star Trek was last year&#8217;s blockbuster film, plus [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday morning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two announcements: My dear friend Jenni (who I have known from a distance for several years and am delighted to be rooming with at The Glen in a week or so) has been working very hard on the Art House America site &#8211; and it&#8217;s finished, as of last night. So go read, gawk at the loveliness, [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Teaching and Other Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dove straight back into real life after returning &#8211; Tom started his new job on Monday, and I feel like I&#8217;ve been climbing an endless mountain of to-dos. I can&#8217;t believe tomorrow&#8217;s Thursday already! Sometimes life seems settled, and I know roughly what to do next and have a manageable list of things to accomplish. [...]]]></description>
