Why is she balanced precariously on the arm of that chair, you ask? So she could do this, of course:

This was the exciting game of the morning: climbing up on the arm of the recliner, then doing a dramatic drop back to the seat. Over, and over, and over, with much giggling.

Hey, you might've done the same, if given an armchair of the appropriate scale. SteelyKid sure made it look like fun...

Because I know there are still a few people who come here for the cute-kid pictures, I give you the official SteelyKid portrait for the 2013-14 academic year. This is actually a photo of a photo, because that's the easiest way to convert the print they sent us to a digital format, and also because…
Hey, I just wanted to drop you all a note to say sorry about that football game yesterday. I know I've already admitted that rugby is a superior game, but honestly, the NFL can do better. You see, the thing is, the Miami Dolphins are a really bad team this year. And the New York Giants, much as I…
While in the past, I've written a bunch about basketball here, I've been unusually silent on the subject this year, confining my commentary to the occasional Links Dump item from Grantland and other sites.

For most of my youth I had a beauty of a little scar on my forehead from bouncing on upholstered furniture and coming down head first and hard on the corner of a table. It was wild laughing and joy; then tears and blood. Took a good number of stitches to keep the skull from peeking out. With time the scar faded and now you have to know where to look and catch it in the right light to see it.

I once broke a coffee table playing keep-off-the-ground: it could bear my weight standing, but not jumping off the top of the door. On a related note, don't teach preschoolers to jam up door-frames unless you're willing to deal with falls from height. Also, don't get caught by your tutor at university jamming up a nice tall corridor outside her office because you were bored. You have so much to look forward to!
