Not long ago, I was asked to speak to the Radiant Panel Association at their annual Showcase Awards Program. The event was held in Washington, D.C., our nation's capitol.
I'm embarrassed to admit that the first time I visited Washington I was a grownup. I was deeply moved by my exploration of the city. I cried in the Library of Congress; I was awed by the Lincoln Memorial. I was struck speechless - can you believe that? - for most of my visit. (If you haven't yet, take your kids to D.C. and spend some time walking around, visiting our national temples and basking in the power of the place.)
