Wafer Saxa

Before I die, I hope to be wealthy enough to found a university. With a relatively small amount of money?say, a few million dollars?I could easily start a small institution focused on training students for a specific range of careers. But that wouldn’t be any fun, because trade schools don’t usually have real sports teams.

Beirut 101

Some call it beer pong; others refer to it as “beirizzy in the hizzy.” You can call it whatever you want, as long as you acknowledge that Beirut is the best game, ever. we ex-high school jocks can’t get enough of it.

I’m like a bird

The sign on the wall said, “Why gamble with your money, when you can gamble with your life?” At first it seemed a bit absurd to me, but then again I was in Vegas, a few hundred dollars in the hole. At 3 a.m., standing on the floor of the Venetian Hotel, what once was a crazy idea that I had shrugged off several times before suddenly started to seem a lot more plausible.

Q&A: this is for U

As I cruised down the streets of Gainesville, Fla. during a summer road-trip with John, my long-time best friend, one question plagued us.
