		<description><![CDATA[We’re in March now, late winter, and while the sun is in the sky for longer periods of time, the light is purely hypothetical for the most part here in Portland.

My neglect is a sign that my Real Life has been filled with real life! Fortunately, I recently discovered a writer who has a lot of quirky, wild, insightful, things [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently returned from a family performing arts camp in northern California that is an annual pilgrimage for me and my family. This year, I taught a class called Music for Special Occasions, in which I led songs that people can sing to mark births, deaths, rites of passage, and celebrations of all kinds. It [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not an avid follower of the plethora of TV talent shows that have hooked a bunch of my friends, even though I love how American Idol and similar spin-offs have gotten more people singing, dancing, and showing off their talents.  Fortunately, I did manage to catch NBC’s “Sing-Off” last fall, a contest of eight [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Belle and Sebastian is the kind of band that I don&#8217;t like to like. As a working songwriter, it can be a little infuriating to hear a band sound so casual and off-handed and pull it off so beautifully. It&#8217;s that apathetic hipster stance that turns me off,  as though they’d be just as happy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A little while back, my nine year-old son and I were doing “quick-writes” in tandem on a somewhat regular basis. We’d choose a writing prompt, set the timer for 10 minutes, and go. He had just discovered poetry, thanks to his superhero of a 3rd grade teacher, and he felt a sense of confidence and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I currently find myself in one of my &#8220;incubation periods.&#8221; (Am I sounding like a tortured artist? Good!) This has happened many times before, where I&#8217;ve backed off from doing my singer-songwriter project, usually in favor of other artistic work, but sometimes just to create more time and space for things unknown. Eventually, I end [...]]]></description>

Within my own life span, the roles that friends have played in my life have changed, based on the demands of work and family. My friendships have enriched my life beyond measure, and yet, even the most satisfying of friendships have so often been relegated [...]]]></description>
