Jake MacDonald 
With the Boys 
Field Notes on Being a Guy

In this thoughtful collection of events and gatherings from his own life, Jake Mac Donald chronicles the outdoor adventures of guys hes known. They fish, they hunt, they take off on foreign jaunts. Typical guy stuff, maybe, but Mac Donald writes about these adventures with the sensitivity of a man who was taught ethics by his father, who cherishes nature and who loves the company of women. Love and loss figure in these true stories, as do other pains of being mortal, but theres also much joy in Macdonalds genial recounting of his fifty-plus years of male pursuits. Whether its crack-of-dawn motel breakfasts, starlit stakeouts in the bulrushes, out-of-control helicopter rides to the barrenlands, or day trips on the blue, blue sea with the sharks circling, let Jake take you along for the ride.
