Osler's Razor

My mom sent me this article revealing that my little sister, Kathy, has joined the roller derby under the name "Miss KO." Given that Kathy (pictured above with Mom) has the usual Osler qualities of tenacity, orneriness, and a high-impact hip check, I probably shouldn't be surprised to find her taking up with the likes of her new teammates Hellin Wheels, Screamin' Mimi, and Pistol Whip.

I'm kinda jealous, because it sounds like a lot of fun. I have always been a little in awe of Kathy anyways, since she (like my brother) has always had abilities that I don't have. She's a social worker, for example, which requires an entire skill set that I lack. Specifically, she works for an organization that helps people who would otherwise be institutionalized for mental problems to live on their own. They keep their clients' checkbooks, visit them every day, and make sure they take their medications. It is a job which serves a pure and unalloyed good.

I'm hoping this summer to make it to Chicago, and maybe catch a little rec-league roller derby. Go Miss KO!
