Winning the dunk contest
Thursday, Sept. 4, 12 00 a.m.

Let the games begin ...And then end quickly.
Thursday, Aug. 14, 12 00 a.m.
Every four years the world's top athletes come together in the hopes of achieving one magical goal: pre-empting our primetime television.

Housesitting on a gold mine
Thursday, Aug. 7, 12 00 a.m.
I am one housesitting job away from selling my own place. I'm not kidding. I've got gigs lined up so far in advance, I might not sleep in my own bed until next October. (My wife argues that, "this might have happened anyway.")
