My somewhat interesting blog about life in Park City: freeskiing, mountain biking, and other stuff.

Sam and I waited for the sun to drop and went for an evening ride on the Avenues. Hard to believe but it had been almost two weeks since our last time riding the trail. We made pretty good time to the top and had a great ride down. Not as fast as usual, but still a good ride. Oh, and we passed three moose just feet from the trail.
Took Hobbes, Dora, and Tracker for a couple rides to the pond and back. Not much of a ride. Only 3 miles total for the two laps. Good pictures though.

“Should boy born 3 years after dad’s death get Social Security?” - Salt Lake Tribune, July 13, 2010
There is no question that Ian Burns is the son of Michael Burns.
But did Michael intend to father a child nearly three years after his own death from cancer?
For his wife, Gayle, there is no doubt.
But for the Social Security Administration, which is fighting her efforts to get survivor’s benefits for their son, the answer is no.
Now the Utah Supreme Court is entering the debate in a first-of- its-kind case here, though the issue has been debated in a handful of other states.
The justices are poised to answer two questions: Is a signed sperm donor agreement evidence of a man’s desire to become a father, even after his death? And is that child then his legal heir?
