Blogging competition?

I am in deep trouble on the blogging front. My much-smarter, much-better-writing wife started a public blog last night. I recommend you add her blog - about her life change from an executive to a stay at home mom - to your readers.

Her blog about her next chapter is titled "In Which I Stay at Home", a take on the titling of Winnie the Pooh Chapters. I am sure she will post more often and with better and more original things to say than I have done.

We return your youth to more pre-programmed madness

At this rate we are going to have to have the government pre-chew our food for us so we don't choke. Per the Omaha World-Herald (via Drudge, registration required on Omaha.com)...

Omaha is banning sledding at the Zorinsky and Cunningham Lake dams, which are both popular sledding spots. It is also banning ice skating and ice fishing on frozen ponds and lagoons in city parks. The move is in response to a court decision that resulted in public entities being liable for injuries that occur at public parks and other recreation facilities.

Honestly, this stuff puts me over the edge. Kids need unstructured playtime away from marauding adults. This so they learn how do deal with live without a mediator around lest they learn this the hard way at college. Sledding in the park was a staple of my youth and taught me a bunch of things that were valuable such as

1. Don't aim at people with your sled... because when you hit them their big brother will beat you senseless
2. Don't go places that you could possibly lose control near big trees, enough said (also good when skiing - see Sonny Bono)
3. Wear layers so you can play longer
4. A hill that ends onto a busy street is a bad idea
   

Please someone - how do we stop this? Is wiffleball next?
