...Despite the presence of phenoms such as Karrie Webb and Se Ri Pak, Sorenstam has owned the past two seasons. In 2001 she won 11 tournaments and shot a record-low round of 59; last year she won 13 times, matching a mark set by Hall of Famer Mickey Wright in 1963. "I have days when everything falls into place, but then I think, 'Why can't I do this more often...
...Sims 2 (Maxis, PC, 2004) Legendary designer Will Wright had an all-time best seller on his hands the first time he introduced us to those virtual human pets known as the Sims. Betting that we wanted to make them mingle with others - and would pay a monthly fee for the privilege - Wright then released The Sims Online, which flopped badly.

A BIT OF NATURE: The Frederik Meijer Gardens boast themed botanical exhibits (the carnivorous plants are only a bit creepy) and a 125-acre sculpture park. DINNER: The 1913 Room is Michigan...
...smaller paycheck is just the beginning of the adjustment for many families. Some live too far from a military base to take easy advantage of the benefits of military life. In Hammond, La., if Janet Wright wants to save on tax-free groceries at a military commissary while her husband serves in California, she has to load a cooler into her car and drive at least an hour. "What you save in tax-free," she says with a sigh, "you've just spent in gas." The families of activated reservists qualify for the same health plan as active-duty families...
