		<title>The 4 inches of the ADA compliance nightmare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Owner called with a problem with the doors.  First it was getting the door hardware installed on the job - hardware that must be programmed for multiple users to have access into the school with complex software- and now it&#8217;s the closure mechanism.
The problem is that the form of the door pull has to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In these years we&#8217;ve had five
I&#8217;ve never felt so much alive.
Never felt so in love
we&#8217;ve been put together by God above.
Your smile so sweet
it makes me feel complete,
your laugh so genuine at my jokes
even when they are poorly spoke.
Our time together I treasure dear,
my love language of time spent near.
My words I speak to fill [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lake House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I&#8217;d like to get the foundation on  #17 dug today.&#8221;
&#8220;Look, I know you&#8217;re new around here, kid.&#8221;
&#8220;What?&#8221;
&#8220;I can&#8217;t get to 17 until at least next week.&#8221;
&#8220;Comeon, Mulhern, That&#8217;s bullshit and you know it.  Take Clemens and Rodriguez off roofing.  Jorge can run the backhoe they&#8217;re not using on 14&#8230;  Grab 4 or 5 of those [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paul Sawier Public Library</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a quick section sketch I did of the Paul Sawier public library in Frankfort, KY.  I need to go out sketching more to practice those hand muscles, because I felt clumsy and uncertain of myself at this first documentation sketch I&#8217;ve made in several weeks.
My section doesn&#8217;t capture this well enough to my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Understanding and Comprehension</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I "comprehend" it when I can explain it to you and answer your questions about how it will be built, how I might estimate its cost, and how much load it may carry (based on calculations of the size of the steel).]]></description>

		<title>The Routine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Saturday, and I woke up at 5:55AM, just five minutes before my two alarm clocks would normally start chiming on my makeshift nightstand during the work week.   I actually laughed in bed, because I knew I didn&#8217;t have to get up.  I tried to reposition the covers, and even switched the blankets between the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lost in Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Our architecture firm is doing a fitup of an existing building, a renovation for a new owner and new company that is moving into an empty office.  The problem lay in the fact that we had no existing drawings - and so we had them pulled from the archives.
The department of buildings of local authorities [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Renaissance Man and the Spider</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I heard an interesting metaphor for an architect&#8217;s role last week, and thought it deserved sharing; the architect not only as a renaissance man, but also as a spider.  Look carefully at the images from Leonardo&#8217;s Virtruvian Man and the first Spiderman comic.
&#8220;Renaissance man&#8221; is a phrase for an individual with broad intellectual interests in [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Lack of Penmanship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The previous year in 2009 was absolutely wonderful for me, and the new year already proves promising.
I hesitated in writing this for some time, because I didn&#8217;t think I had anything worth saying on my blog, so I kept my mouth and pen closed; I thought that my words had to be this deep, profound [...]]]></description>
