    The Junior Phenom Camp was grass-roots basketball in distilled form — a caldron of ambition, networking, gossip and backbiting. The players had been identified and invited to San Diego after attending regional camps. Most of the 360 campers were being charged $450 to participate. All kinds of merchandise was available for purchase, including a camp program for $25 that listed the participants and their heights, hobbies, hometowns and nicknames, which made for interesting reading. There was a G-Money, a K-Money, a Cash-Money and one young man who simply called himself Money. Two campers went by Sir, while others — Da Truth, Superstar, Big Dog, the Chosen One — selected handles that seemed to demand respect.

  • About a year ago, my husband started getting Facebook friend invitations from every girl he ever went to school with.

    And it seemed as if half of them confessed crushes on him. These were girls frozen in his memory with teenaged breasts, AP English minds, and a sense that anything was possible. Like this one girl from seventh grade. She friended my husband on Facebook and then reminisced about the day his family moved away. She had put on her favorite dress, painted her nails purple, and worked up all her courage to hug him good-bye. “Isn’t that SO funny,” she wrote, “How silly we are as kids.”
