What once was lost
One minute she had the keys in her hand, using the fob’s button to pop the lock on her car parked in the drive. The next minute the keys were gone. Way gone. She tore the house apart and put it back together looking for the damn things, to no avail.

Dustin Diamond says that when he finally bid farewell to the “Saved by the Bell” franchise in 2000, they didn’t let him keep any of the clothes. And even if they did he wouldn’t have wanted them.

Home for Christmas
They call it Murphy’s now, the kind of neighborhood Irish watering hole as common to this part of Long Island as discount clothing stores and vanity license plates.

NOLA chef makes movie-house fare
The last time I ate at one of Chef Adolfo Garcia’s restaurants, my server was a large fellow with broad shoulders, a husky voice and an enormous pair of tits.

Service with a grimace
John Isner’s serve is a study in leverage, trajectory physics and efficiency of movement.
He bounces the ball between his gangly legs, taps it with his racket and neatly catches it off the ground in his left hand. He gives it a light, fingertip toss and it hovers there for a split second at the apogee, 11, maybe even 12 feet off the surface of the hardcourt. He shifts his weight to his front leg as his body leans into the stroke, and he gives a little jump just before the moment of impact, stretching his 6-foot-9 frame to its limits.
