In a few past columns, I shared portions from chapters in my book. Big thanks for the nice comments I received. And for the requests for more excerpts. So I’m chosen a section from Chapter Eight for this month.
My good buds and I were daring and naughty—we liked to challenge ourselves to push the limits. That worked to my advantage. Our private parties often included strip poker and “I Dare You” games. I was a bad boy. I cheated. Oh, what fond memories.
I’m sure that some of what I’m about to describe is part of most kids’ adventures perhaps due to group dynamics, drinking, and sexual experimentation. Party times, when they included my having to undress for the group, were mostly my doing. I protested and pretended to be embarrassed but these were opportunities I created for myself.
Yes, it’s a pattern. I was skilled at rigging some of the games so that I would lose (really that meant winning). During our strip poker times, when we got tired of penny poker and when a couple of drinks took hold, I jumped in and secretly took control—the way I did with Coach Nasty. Thanks to me our play became more exciting, more thrilling, and more arousing for my friends and, more importantly, for me.
In strip poker, when I was dealt a hand with two of a kind I complained. “Damn this hand sucks. I need some good cards.”

Quirkiest College Campuses
"Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness," architect and designer Frank Gehry said. It's no wonder then that some of the most innovative designs are implemented on college campuses, where students learn from the past and grow from new perspectives. As students from all over reconvene for the school year, these campuses offer different points of view, not only through their curricula, but through their unconventional building styles. From a student center shaped like dim sum steamer baskets in Singapore, to a 36-story skyscraper in Russia, to a shipping center imitation in the Netherlands, here are college buildings around the world that present different angles.
