CHANCES ARE

If you're like Roger Schlaifer, you don't just recoil in shock when you see a headline about a swimmer being attacked by a shark - you want to know what the odds are of something similar happening to you.

"Getting hit by lightning, getting mugged on the street - we all harbor fears about these things, even though our fears are disproportionate to the likelihood of it actually happening," Schlaifer said. "So you can't help but wonder, just what are the chances?"

TOYLAND

Playthings are grouped together by decade in Tim Walsh's new book "Timeless Toys: Classic Toys and the Playmakers Who Created Them" (Andrews McMeel; $30), but that doesn't mean the title of the book is misleading.

Walsh notes that the birth of Flexible Flyer sleds, Lionel trains and Crayola crayons came shortly after the turn of the century. Monopoly, Slinky spring toys and Tonka trucks were conceived in the 1930s and 1940s. Silly Putty, the Magic-8 Ball, Pez and Play-Doh were born in the 1950s. Etch-A-Sketch, Lego blocks, G.I. Joe dolls and the Nerf ball were first made available in the 1960s and 1970s. And the 1980s and 1990s saw the emergence of Trivial Pursuit, Cabbage Patch Kids and the Super Soaker.

TUTOR TOO MUCH?

Ryan Uyeji is learning to hold a pencil, though he mostly traces and scribbles. The 2-year-old isn't enrolled in preschool yet, but attends weekly math and reading tutoring sessions and tackles homework packets nearly seven days a week.

At home, a small study table has been set up in the corner, and he's already learning to read short sentences and do timed math exercises.

My Fair Lady

Sophie Stone suggested that I do a story on a play, My Fair Lady, being presented at the Paramus High School by the students. She never prepared me for the lovely Kei Muto who is starring as Eliza nor for her co-star David Marcus. The only insight I had was when I contacted Guidance Counselor (and Councilwoman) Mrs. Connie Wagner. Mrs. Wagner was right, Kei is delightful.

KATRINA COTTAGE

ORLANDO, Fla. - There were no plasma TVs, walk-in closets, granite countertops or grand staircases, but the tiny Katrina Cottage was a showstopper among homes on display at the recent International Builders' Show.

Bright yellow with white trim, the simple four-room structure encompassed only 300 square feet. Resembling the English-style cottages built by American settlers in the 17th century, the dwelling drew crowds to the parking lot outside the Orange County Convention Center.

Simple Eh?

Iâ€™ve been working very hard all morning and Iâ€™m not even out of bed yet. Iâ€™m surfing all the TV channels we have on this new cable set up.We got a box and everything We also got two handy-dandy user guides. One is a 16 page quick reference guide. You may ask; â€œIf the quick reference guide is 16 pages how long is the full guide?â€ Donâ€™t ask.
