By now, the world knows that Richard Wiggins is the man caught blogging in the john by his wife on the morning of their 4th wedding anniversary [New York Times, "For Some, The Blogging Never Stops"], and it occurred to me blogging may be the Oughties answer to Ann Landers' aspirin-between-the-knees contraceptive method*:

"I didn't hear any water running, so I wondered what was going on," Ms. Matthews said of her husband. "It seems as if his laptop is glued to his legs 24/7."

* Okay, I haven't been able to find the actual article where Landers gave this non-advice; but it was reportedly published in the column in the 1950's, prior to the advent of the actual 'Pill'.
