		<title>chemistry on amino acid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is just a really cool idea of how to explain protein synthesis. It&#8217;s interpretive dance, from the 70&#8217;s. It&#8217;s simply cool on several levels.

		<description><![CDATA[It was affectionately called, "Bike Maintenance for Chicks."  A nerd in high school, I didn't really consider myself a "chick."

		<description><![CDATA[When I was nine years old, my brother used to tell me that when he saw me shifting my bike without moving.

		<description><![CDATA[Biking in the late summer, early fall is my favorite time. The days get hot but the mornings and afternoons are crisp. Maine at it’s finest.
