How did your life collide with the headlines in 2007?
Iraq, the subprime crisis, Facebook, immigration, oil prices - 2007 had no shortage of hefty headlines. We'd like to hear about how these and other major news events of the past year affected you. Where did your life collide with the news in 2007?

What's your holiday performance story?
The office talent show, the neighborhood caroling posse, the school pageant ... At holiday time we often sing, dance, and dress as shepherds. Did you bloom in the warmth of your audience's adulation, or freeze up like the snowman you'd rather be building? Did your holiday performance change your life or that of someone close to you?

It's safe to say that Charlie Schroeder won't be suiting up for a professional basketball game anytime soon. In fact, earlier this year he made a big fuss about getting in shape on this very show. Well, we here at Weekend America were disappointed to find out Charlie is no longer shaking his booty. AND he's in terrible shape again. But he still thinks of himself as an exceptional athlete, so this time we sent him to Dunk Dreams. It's a class where students spend up to three hours a day learning how to jump higher.

Watch Charlie Dunk!
