		<description><![CDATA[Our son Atticus, now 4, watched part of Finding Nemo tonight. The story&#8217;s setting was relevant given the roaring surf outside our rented vacation house on the Oregon coast. Judging from his reaction to the dramatic scenes (shielding his eyes with a blanket and whimpering occasionally), we&#8217;ve overly sheltered him from TV and other insidious [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting my hair cut always yields a story or two. That&#8217;s because the two barbers and their clients talk a lot. Today the friendly banter included my barber, Horace, recounting how he attended Portland&#8217;s Lincoln High School in the 1970s, overlapping for a year with Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons.
&#8220;We talked occasionally even though [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exercising while listening to music and watching tragic news on CNN is a collision of dissonance.
Picture the scene: two dozen bodies bouncing along on cardio equipment in front of six health club TVs. I&#8217;m on the elliptical machine. Music blaring from my ear buds drowns out all other sound, even my panting breaths. My eyes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Until HBO&#8217;s True Blood, I can&#8217;t recall a television series with an opening sequence more riveting than the show itself. A foreboding mix of lust, religion, and evil, the montage casts a memorable spell. With each viewing, I&#8217;m drawn deeper into the stark settings.
While I enjoyed the series&#8217; first season, which wrapped up Sunday, it [...]]]></description>
