Vonnegut was a favorite of my buddies and I back in high school. Slaughterhouse. Cat’s Cradle. Time Quake. Breakfast of Champions. Reading him in class was our Farmville, or whatever the hell my students are doing on their cell phones the moment I turn my back on them.

A week ago Hampton native Allen Iverson retired. Today he announced he was coming back to the NBA. How did he spend his golden years… err week?
