Euphoria, of course, is a fleeting thing for a family of five locked inside a speeding vehicle (for the record, always within posted state limits). And like most families, we are a diverse group. Our eldest, Emily, is blissfully inclined toward reading, crafting and almost any do-it-yourself project. Six-year-old Zack is apt to need outward stimulation--like playing arena football in the car.

It is surely not for nothing that an idolized pop singer of recent times so successfully exploited her given name, Madonna.
