As far as real-life modern romances go, few top the story of Rob Sheffield and his wife, Renée Crist, who lived in Charlottesville in the ’90s when they were young marrieds. Their story nearly swamped Sweet with emotion when she was reading Sheffield’s new book, Love is a Mix Tape

At my mother’s insistence, I took French in high school. I think she thought that all proper young ladies spoke French, despite the fact that all the cool kids took Spanish. I regularly took comfort in the fact that at least I wasn’t one of those dorks stuck learning Latin. Fifteen years after the fact, […]
In the movie A Bronx Tale, Robert DeNiro informs his son, Calogero, that “there’s nothing worse (in life) than wasted talent.” That line always seems to ring in my head when seeing Atlanta Falcon (www.atlantafalcons.com) quarterback Matt Schaub holding a clipboard on an NFL sideline. Now as a restricted free agent, there is a possibility […]

In many ways, My Space is the sign of a pulse—a collective pulse—amongst the Me Generation. It’s ground zero for “LOL” and “WTF” and other […]
The identity of Dave Leitao’s first Virginia team was a scrappy, understaffed crew that had no fan expectations. The team had a few surprise wins and even managed to make a postseason tournament in the N.I.T. So what is this year’s team identity? Don’t ask them. They’re still trying to figure it out themselves. Halfway […]
Yep—Grandma’s chocolate peppermint pudding pie was too good to pass up this year, again. Another Christmas has passed, and another promise to resist stuffing your cheeks with all of the holiday pies, cakes and cookies you can get your hands on has been broken. With the new year, new diet resolutions take hold—ones that have […]
