SteelyKid would like to remind everybody that sometimes you just need to kick back on the couch, eat some snacks, and watch tv:

In her case, that means watching the same episode of Good Eats over and over and over...

Other times, of course, you need to get out and feel the wind in your hair:

Even if you're just saying "BA BA BA BA" into an oscillating fan.

And that's as profound as we're capable of tonight.

Several weeks ago, now, SteelyKid flipped out at bedtime. We had told her that the episode of MythBusters playing on the DVR was the last one for the night, but when it ended, she demanded more. When we said no, she went into a full-on toddler freakout, screaming, crying, kicking the floor. I…
I'm watching an episode of NOVA scienceNOW (eccentric capitalization makes it hip!), and Neil deGrasse Tyson is doing a segment on extrasolar planets. I'm only half listening, because I'm also trying to keep SteelyKid from trying to eat any of the furniture, but it's quite good. All of a sudden,…

Okay, a break from all the serious stuff for a little pop culture. While doing a search for information on a restaurant, I came across this post on a blog I've never seen blasting the Food Network for many things. Now, the Food Network is quite possibly my favorite channel. I'm a serious food lover…

Actually, it is pretty profound. People rarely just revel in the simple things. Kicking back, or being silly for no reason are important. They both let you stop being worried or too serious, or just stressed out. Kids have the secret to how to live, but as we grow up we forget.
