She's leaving home: When sending their children off to college, parents who are inclined to overfunction might be able to not resist the temptation to send a moving van full of stuff to the kid's tiny dorm room.

Out of town: President Barack Obama and his family chose Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts for a relaxing vacation -- or as relaxing a vacation as can be managed when your every movement requires a 20- vehicle motorcade.
Obama's decision to vacation on Martha's Vineyard confused the president's most ardent critics once they were informed that no mosques exist on the island.
