Luge

Wilson rose early again this morning to watch the Winter Olympics from Sochi, and today they were showing the Luge and the Half-Pipe Snowboard events. 

He confided to me that he thought he had found the perfect Olympic event for him to compete in: the Luge! All he had to do was lie down on a sledge and whizz down a track. He reasoned that would be even easier than Curling, as he wouldn't so much as need to stand up. 

'Honestly, New Dad, a sack of potatoes could do it — you don't even have to steer!' 

He admitted that one shortcoming was that he couldn't see where he was going, but was pretty sure he could invent something out of a small mirror and some Blu-Tack. I think it might be less scary if he couldn't see where he was going, but maybe that's just me…

I've got a pretty bad feeling about this, although sTony and sToneye are both enthusiastic. 

But they'll agree to anything if it means they can get the handles taken off their heads.
