This is a must read for anyone interested in class in America. I read Bageant's blog regularly, but I still found his book timely and important. Sharp, well-written and eye opening, this book will not disappoint.

Deer Hunting With Jesus
Wish I could write more than this little blurb at this time, but my time is taken up with summer duties. Hope to come back and examine the material in Deer Hunting With Jesus at a later time.

Changing Times
This is why I love the new social media:
I received this Facebook message from a former student in Mozambique. When I lived in this tiny town in 1999, we didn't even have a phone. We had to drive about two hours to call home, now someone is finding me online and on Facebook. I have written Justin back and I hope it will help me reconnect to the place that has had a very profound and powerful effect on my life.
Hi! i've been trying to keep in touch with my former english teacher in Quissico (mozambique) who has the same name as yours! But a former pcv in cumbana is back in moz visiting and he provided me with the second name! so i was just wondering if it is you!

Popping In
Quick little note for any regular readers I may have out there. Sorry, I have been a bit spotty posting here, but it is summer, I am on holiday, and enjoying spending time with my family in California and soon Oregon.
I have a lot on my mind and wish I could be writing more often, but I am letting the thoughts drift into the ether; I find myself sleeping very well every night.
Not much to report other than this brief list:
Saw Death Cab for Cutie with Andrew Bird last night at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. It was a beautiful night as the sun set over the bay. I was reminded how much I love sitting in the midst of a large group of people listening to live music:
I am currently sitting in a hotel room in Fortuna California waiting to watch the season premiere of Entourage. Tomorrow we drive to Eugene, Oregon where I hope to see this...
...life is good, and as is often the case I don't have much to say.
