Tailbone still hurts from tobogganing with the twins.

Real tobaggan or is that just a catch-all for all sledding? I know when I was a teen living in NE Indiana we had a state park that had a tobbogan slide. I used to love to take my sled down the hill as a kid. We had a two-seater and a single seater sleds that had metal rails. We'd wax the rails before each season. I think found a roll of plastic from a swimming pool that we cut into sections and made our own plastic roll-up sled. But that small single seater sled was sure quick down those hills. You could steer it with your feet while you held on to the nylon rope. Of course, it was a lot more fun to go down head first steering with your hands. I know when I visit up to see my mother and sister in the Adirondacks they like to go "tubing" in those big innertubes. Just not as fast as the rail sleds nor are you able to steer very well. Never had my own tobbogan though.

Foam pad kind. I was holding one preschooler as well. And it was mostly compacted ice. Hurt like hell with each bump since I hurt my back a year ago.

I need to try to make pizza from scratch one of these days. Real bacon on a pizza would be awesome. The "bacon" pizza chains use is not really real bacon.

Those chains cut costs. Real bacon would be too expensive. I slow cooked some Black Label Bacon and then hand cut it up. Makes a difference. I believe that food should make you go mmmmmm.
