Spotting an ornate chrome desk fan whirring lazily on the top shelf, I decided the living room needed a proper circus headline. I strolled up the book spines, tapped my foot against the metal cage to check the vibration, and nonchalantly balanced that fresh yellow pennant I crafted right across the spinning air stream. The breeze caught it with a snappy flutter, making my ears whip back in style. With one hand perched on my hip and a cocky grin, I watched my pennant dance in mid-air without slipping an inch.
