...couples spent much of the meal reminiscing about vacations they had taken together. There was a trip to the Dominican Republic, where Mike got sick from the water and danced by himself, and the winter ski house upstate that Rob trashed--and Mike cleaned up--back in their bachelor days. As the evening wore on, the bartender, recognizing Mike from his picture, sent over round after round of beers. Then the talk turned, as all New York conversations eventually do, to Sept. 11.

Kamen's vehicles include a Hummer, a Porsche and two helicopters--both of which he helped design and one of which he uses to commute to work each day. He also owns an island off the coast of Connecticut. He calls it North Dumpling, and he considers it a sovereign state. It has a flag, a navy, a currency...
...wife and running a household was difficult. "I couldn't get my arms around it all," he confesses. He tried to take a job out of state, but his ex-wife took him to court and won. Hoerner became active in Fathers for Equal Rights and wrote a book, Bachelor Parents and Their (Dys)Functional Families: A Guide to Successful Parenting for the Single Male. Now, 10 years after his divorce, he recalls with a chuckle, "My oldest son says that what was missing with a woman's touch was certainly made up for with electronics...
