Here's the latest:

Tom Kelso won the Summer Hiatus Challenge for the second time in three years. He didn't miss a clue in the TOC. A late-discovered typo by the second-place player made the tiebreaker irrelevant.

The first draft of my first book ("I'm Getting Better: Reflections on a Broken Heart") is almost finished. Stay tuned.

The Padres are in the thick of a National League 7-team pennant race that, as of Thursday afternoon, has exactly ZERO clinched play-off spots. Four days to go and almost half of the league is still alive for the post-season. Anyone want to make the case that the DH makes for better baseball? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Still to come: a new (or at least improved and re-packaged) tempo-free stat for college basketball. Again, stay tuned.
