It was quite the scene last Friday at Dzine2Show's fourth annual fashion show, "Du‘l!" Ibby Jaaber was there with a beautiful woman, wearing a suit and tie.
As baseball season gets underway, one man looms larger - much larger - than most: Barry Bonds.
Bonds, of course, is on pace to break Hank Aaron's 755 career home run mark, one of baseball's most hallowed records.
The first time I saw the ballot for Best of Penn '07, the nominations sent me in a tizzy. That Econ professor earns a nod for "allegedly" bludgeoning his wife to death?
Hello friends, acquaintances and people who stalk me on Facebook. It's been a busy week for me, filled with nightly blackouts, and spitting game even Mark Zoller couldn't compete with (besides Texas A&M).
