Because I need to test out some features of the new WordPress system, including the image handling, here's a place-holder post with a bonus SteelyKid photo:
This is SteelyKid kicking back at Niska-Day over the weekend (the annual community fair here in Niskayuna). Don't be deceived by the lazy look of this image-- she was seriously fired up, and went on a whole bunch of rides, including four trips on the "roller coaster," proving she is her mother's daughter. She also took two pony rides, but happily hasn't demanded one yet.
So, how was your weekend?

Long-time readers will remember that I used to do weekly kid-blogging, posting pictures of SteelyKid with a reference animal, Appa the sky-bison from the Avatar cartoon.

DADDY: So, what did you do at school today?
STEELYKID: Daddy, I'm a superhero. They call me Strong Ninja Girl. Strong World-Saving Ninja Girl.
DADDY: Because you save the world?
SteelyKid was born five years ago today. I'd try to be clever and schedule this for exactly five years to the minute of her time of birth, but I've mercifully forgotten exactly when the delivery was, only that it was early in the morning after a very, very long night.
