@kathyJ: I agree. I love love love swinging. I swing @ the Sligo-Dennis park. Such fun it is.

Babs!?…I can deal with Babs…as long as I can choose the urban dictionary definition that corresponds to my name…some of those definitions are pretty awful!

This is no ethical dilemma. This is Whole Foods’ CEO opening his big mouth before he thought about the business consequences. His comment was especially surprising, given the image of Whole Foods and the demographic that frequents its stores. I’m no WF girl (I prefer Harris Teeter to be quite honest) and I’m all for freedom of speech, but this was an idiotic move on this guy’s part (totally disregarding whatever ethical dilemmas people may think exist). I’m interested in seeing if and to what degree sales suffer.

Editor’s note: It’s an ethical dilemma for some. For you and I, it doesn’t mean jack shit. Either way, it’s getting a write-up.

And your screen name from this point forward is “Babs”. — JD (Aug 25, 2009)

I loved swings well into adulthood, but not the strap kind. If they had hard rubber seats I would swing, too. I read that somewhere in Europe (Finland or Denmark) playgounds for all ages were catching on. Sounds good to me!

School starts for MoCo — I think many will be busy prepping for that. Me? I’m looking forward to them going back so I get a turn on the swings at Jesup Blair Park again.
