Working late hours, getting into a few memorable moments and seeing Barack Obama become the nation’s first black president in my lifetime can be a pretty draining thing to experience. Thank God that I have a job that allows me to cool my heels in the company of some pretty entertaining folks.

Q-Tip and Kobe Bryant have a lot in common (and no, it has nothing to do with Nas’ baby mother ).
