Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2001 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
I'm really glad I hung out with Alexei. He gave me some great food for thought regarding faith and religion. In addition, he sprang for lunch and I got back Bargainville and Garrison Keillor's The Book of Guys.
I was really glad to find The Book of Guys because I had been looking for it on and off for a year or more. I stopped teaching "Politics of the Midlife Crisis" about a year and a half ago, and I assumed that I must have lent it to someone in that class, and then it turned up in Alexei's bookshelf. Maybe now my luck will turn around and I'll start finding all the (material) stuff I've lost lately. Very frustrating.
