It's Monday, and you need a lift. Especially if you're stuck working on Labor Day. (We took the day off because Downtown Greenwood is a ghost town on holidays ... sorry if you were looking forward to hanging out.) This brief "musin'" by our pal Jack Pendarvis, now a columnist at The Believer, is sure to lighten your spirits.
Jack has also filled Roy Blount Jr's space as regular columnist at The Oxford American. Check out his first column and compare Jack's two comedic styles.
Also, we got a big smile upon reading this article, sent to us by friends in Oxford, about Billy Ray Brown, son of the late writer Larry Brown (yes, Billy Ray of Billy Ray's Farm), and his homemade efforts to start his own organic dairy farm. We can't wait to try Brown milk. Just another reason to visit Oxford.
