Rage. Extreme crankiness. It's the misbehaving reality television starlet, or the frustrated driver in the car next to yours. It's tennis champ Serena Williams and rapper Kanye West behaving badly. Or, maybe, it's you.

Huh. Piles of desperate people were seeking out their clinics, eliminating that worry. I bent double, speechless, convulsed with laughter, for what seemed like hours.

When men go shopping, they are on a mission and their goal is to complete the mission. Women actually enjoy the process and delight in meandering through endless clothing and cosmetic departments with numerous pauses along the way.

But when it comes to color, Little Traverse Bay has an allure all its own. Whether it's the deep sapphire blue of its waters, the blazing reds and yellows of its foliage or the colorful character of its small cities and villages, the coastline offers plenty to see during a fall driving tour.

It was cold and damp out, and he said he'd been walking all night -- all the way from Northport -- because he got word the previous evening that his mom had fallen seriously ill and was in the hospital in Charlevoix. With no money or car, he walked through the night, to the foundation, hoping to get help with a bus ticket.

They treated us to unique tours of Brooklyn and the city from bikes -- or, more accurately, from three bikes. Nothing in Roberto's collection of nine sleek racers suited my small frame, so I was popped into a roomy, cushion-padded, low-slung steel basket in front of a specially constructed pumpkin-orange cycle.
