Corvette and Ferrari posters grace the walls of Mike's remarkably tidy bedroom. But the depth of his passion is better gauged by peering into his closet. There, carefully filed, are some 100 issues of Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Road & Track magazines, and also four shelves bearing his miniature sports car collection...
...cutoff birth month for starting school should be later for boys than for girls. Once there, boys should be allowed to move around more, taking short recesses when they are restless.

While the burly man on your right screaming "get your giant Italian sausage right here" might get your motor running, he stops your appetite dead cold. The sight of various meats festering in their own juices is more than enough to send those with weak stomachs to the food stand sponsored by the local congregational church, where lighter fare such as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and corn on the cob can be had. On a brighter note, the cotton candy and fried dough rival the food at Six Flags...
