True fans never fail to dress the part
White Sox fans come in all shapes and sizes. Fathers, daughters, grandkids — they all have one big thing in common: team spirit. Here's a sampling from a recent visit to U.S. Cellular Field. 1) Robert Cervantes, 40, car detailer, Chicago How would...Tags: U.S. Cellular Field, Mother's Day, Chicago White Sox, Death, Sports

Do you know where your phone is?
How many times have you seen it — or done it yourself? The cell phone rings and suddenly there is this frenzy of pocket-patting, rooting around a purse or a backpack, mad dumping of the contents and … a missed call.
Some people can find their...Tags: Cell Phones, Minneapolis, Memphis, Elgin

How to avoid duplicate gifts
![<em class="leadin"><strong>Dear Answer Angel:</strong> </em>Can you help me avoid a problem that has bugged me for the last couple of Christmases? I've bought the "big" present for my boyfriend (a splurge, I might add). Then there we are on Christmas morning in his parents' living room, and he opens his present from his mom and stepfather. Have you already guessed? It's the same present I bought him that is sitting under the tree, waiting for the oooohs and ahhhhs that won't come now. How do I avoid this duplication and disappointment all around?](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/column/2010-11/185842280-16125447.jpg "<em class="leadin\"><strong>Dear Answer Angel:</strong> </em>Can you help me avoid a problem that has bugged me for the last couple of Christmases?

Girls get their game on — with great gear
Pink it and shrink it.
Just a few years ago, that was the idea. That's the amount of thought professional sports leagues put into the products they offered their women fans.
They'd just take the popular men's stuff — the boxy t-shirts, player...Tags: Sports and Outdoor Equipment, College Baseball, Alyssa Milano, Major League Baseball, Sports

Peter Yarrow: Puff's daddy takes his folk music crusade to children
Tribune senior correspondentThese days, there's a good chance that a young mom or dad will point at Peter Yarrow and tell the kids, “That's Puff the magic dragon's daddy.” Maybe, even, granddaddy. It's been nearly half a century since Peter, Paul and Mary, the now famed...Tags: Mary Travers, Noel Stookey, Washington (U.S. state), Barack Obama, Crime, Law and Justice

Gifts that'll keep you on the guest list
Some people are just natural hosts. Then there are the rest of us.
We yearn to be invited to somebody else's house for holiday dinners and parties and weekends and pretty much anything. And to be invited back again — and again.
While there's an...Tags: Pet Shops, Services, and Supplies, Martha Stewart, Dog (animal), Holidays

Socks give cheap thrills
There's no scientific data on this, but it's a good bet that men spend more time thinking about cleaning out the lint trap in the dryer than they do about looking fashionable.
For the vast majority, the only question men ask themselves before they get...Tags: Chicago Tribune, Jon Yates

It's a stretch for some to accept leggings
Sometimes, I just don't get it. Women wearing stuff that just doesn't seem to make any sense.
For example, leggings.
For months now, no matter what the temperature, I've been watching women of every age and size encasing themselves in this tight,...Tags: Colleges and Universities, Education, Human Body, New York, Thighs

Taming the tough gift list
Ellen WarrenHoliday shopping doesn't have to be a chore. Not if you make an adventure out of it — filled with time to browse, stop for a drink or a meal, and — who knows — pick up a little something for yourself. With all that in mind, I recently...Tags: U.S. Cellular Field, Chicago Transit Authority, Commuting, Metra, Services and Shopping

You owe yourself today
Hooray, it's Income Tax Day! How will you celebrate? What, you say you're not in a partying mood? Gee, what a surprise. Let's see, is there any upbeat news on the tax front? Well, roughly three out of four of us get a refund from the feds. If you're...Tags: Necklaces (jewelry), Elizabeth II, Internal Revenue Service, Art Institute of Chicago

Ward off the indoor cold with style
It seems insane, or at least counterintuitive. But the hotter it is out there, the more we find ourselves huddling indoors, half frozen, all goose bumps and icy limbs. Don't get me wrong. I love air conditioning. And after my near meltdown at a recent...Tags: Candy, Flowers and Gifts, Flowers, Lightweight Boxing, Boxing, Travel

Preppy fashion takes on an edgy look
![For most people, back to school does <em class="i">not</em> mean a return to a pricey prep school.](http://snsimages.tribune.com/media/thumbnails/story/2009-08/48770163-20155638.jpg "For most people, back to school does <em class="i\">not</em> mean a return to a pricey prep school.")
