The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River has seen a few innovative river trips recently, but few have gone viral like this September’s solo “R-1” trip by Montana’s David Roberts.

Here’s the basics: a 16-day trip at the end of August, 280 miles of river, alone, single-blade paddling a small raft (hence the R-1 label). The endeavor is impressive since paddling a fully loaded raft by oneself is unconventional, and certainly unheard of on such a long trip....

Despite dropping the Week 13 contest 23-3, Buffalo threw everything it had at New England. Sports fans tossing objects onto the playing field is a time-honored tradition. In Detroit, the Red Wings faithful traditionally toss a dead octopus onto the ice in a bizarre practice dating back to the 1950s—when the eight tentacles symbolized the number of playoff wins needed to earn the Stanley Cup. At Wrigley Field in Chicago, an opposing home run ball is almost always hucked back whence it came, as fans egg on whomever caught the souvenir....

For most of us, getting our hands dirty with a somewhat elaborate meal—roasting a prime rib, making pasta from scratch, whipping up chicken confit—eases the doldrums of a 9-to-5 desk job and is a far nicer way to entertain guests than ordering some pizza.
