If kids want to someday get into a good moon college, early manipulation of gravity and bounce training will start them off on the right path. Prepare a wee one for low-gravity econ classes with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a six-visit open-play pass to Jump!Zone in Allison Park (up to a $54 value).
At each Jump!Zone locale nationwide, children ages 2–12 race through themed play areas, bounce on inflatables, and fly down giant slides. Boys and girls can achieve momentary flight in SpongeBob SquarePants and pirate-themed bouncers or slide near the vigilant figure of Batman, who, as in real life, is 20 feet tall and filled with air. Tots with aspirations to be firefighters slide into a bouncy fire truck, and hopeful swashbucklers walk the springy plank of a Long John Silver pirate ship. A giant crocodile watches over the proceedings with chompers ready to snatch unsuspecting sliders, and a Disney princess castle shields young maidens from cootie-breathing dragons. While the kids play, their adult counterparts can relax in the café, use Jump!Zone's free WiFi and finally have time to recite the periodic table of elements in peace. Check the schedule for open-play hours.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Keeping Your Resolution
Your New Year's resolution likely falls into one of the following four categories: health, fitness, beast taming, or relationships. No matter what your resolution is, stick to it like a bee trapped in its own honey with these resolution-keeping tips:
Imagine Success: There's no room for failure! Even imagining defeat will cause your digestive organs to acclimate to the dewy, rancid taste of failure.
Imagine Failure: Just to see how bad it feels.
Start Slow: It's not reasonable to quit smoking cold turkey, stop not-exercising cold turkey, or give up eating all that cold turkey from Thanksgiving cold turkey. The first step toward fulfilling your resolution is to dream about it consecutively for seven nights.
Never, Ever Stop: Quitting is easy, but lasting success comes from perseverance.
Wait Till Next Year: By 2013, they'll probably have invented a pill that solves your problems for you.
