I am writing a story for a national publication on the defining characteristics of GenX parenting. I'm still looking for interviewees, so if you have any interesting thoughts or observations on this issue, email me at kgranju-at-yahoo.com.

Chek out this comprehensive series of pieces from Mother Jones called The Ungreening of America: How the Bush Administration Has Rolled Back Thirty Years of Environmental Progress.

Be sure to pick up a copy of my good friend Spike Gillespie's wonderful new essay collection, Surrender (But Don't Give Yourself Away) And if you live near Austin, TX, you can go hear her read from the book tonight at Book People.

You can find out more about Spike and her work at her website.
