Grandparents generally have more relaxed time to spend with their grandkids than they had with their children. It's a chance for grandparents to practice what they have learned about child rearing. Tom Corbett of Huntington Beach, Calif., for example, had never been patient before he went flying with his grandkids. "I forced it on myself so I don't become anxious or annoyed," says the computer-systems architect, 58. "I don't want to associate anything bad with the thrill of flying." Ron Vickrey, 69, a retired executive in Port Orange, Fla., believes his daughters were too young when...
...gird for at least eight major storms in the past 14 months-four since June. "You just can't expect people to be on edge, to be ready for war, all the time," said doctor's aide Mike Dorsainbille, 31, as he waited for gas in Pompano Beach, in hard-hit Broward County. But any criticism of Florida paled in comparison to the scrutiny put on the Federal Emergency Management Agency, for which Wilma was a chance to redeem itself after the debacle of Hurricane Katrina.

"How many times a year can they deal with roofs being blown off and medications running out?"

It was only a matter of time before Geologist and Deakin would join their zoomates and throw a monkey wrench into the band’s musical progression...
...inspiration has always been sex.” The entry hallway is a sometime-catwalk and an homage to sex and circle motifs. “We travel a lot together,” Matsui says of the pictures of the two, partially nude, on a beach in Hawaii. On the oppposing wall hang blown-up “drunken” snapshots, lit by the dim glow of a red fabric chandelier. A cluster of dangling plastic circles and thin red fabric adorn the ceiling, a red shag rug the floor, and a full-length mirror the far wall...
