I just took a walk in the neighborhood. First stop was the Columbia City Library for something to feed my DVD player. Next door, the Columbia City Farmer’s Market (here’s a photoset) was in full swing. I swung by and bagged a tomato. Yeah, just one, but it’s a real beauty.
The whole time my stomach was gnawing at me for a pulled pork sandwich, so I walked down the block to Roy’s BBQ, a colorful little hole-in-the-wall. Had a Georgia Gold sandwich, potato salad, and a bowl of red beans and rice. Now that Georgia Gold’s a great sandwich: smoky, tangy, tender pork spilling from a fresh bun from the Columbia City Bakery up the street. Very happy now. Then I noticed their nice selection of beers neatly lined up. Next time I’ll try their Fish Tacos and wash them down with Stella Artois.

We’d been cruising south toward Tacoma. Sophie was awake in her car seat but was strangely quiet. I turned around and—whoa! “Pull over! Pull over!” We stopped. Luna got to Sophie first. I grabbed the camera. Cars hurtled behind my back at highway speed.

Sophie’s lips and hands were a red, smeary mess! We’d given her a tube of lipstick to play with. Smart, huh? Well, the “active ingredient” was so far down that tube, I figured that she’d never get to it. How wrong I was. Get to it she did, maybe by twisting the tube.

Sophie's one today. We regaled her this morning with "Happy Birthday!" as she sat up in bed and smiled like a scamp. She was amiable at breakfast, too, a big surprise to me because she gets fussy at the sight of solids these days (to get her to eat, Luna and I have resorted to singing and cavorting; believe me, neither of us can hold a tune).
[fa:p:id=166537288,j=l,s=s,l=p] She's in love with a cracker, a big, flat, rectangular thing studded with sesame seeds, fennel seeds and parmesan cheese. Sophie nibbled one with me, in bed, as we watched Mexico trounce the Iranian team 3--1 at the World Cup. Afterwards I carefully gathered cracker crumbs from the comforter. Sophie snuggled up to me and drifted off to sleep. (She's still sleeping, flat on her back in a powder blue two-piece, lavender socks, and a noup-noup in her mouth.)

Only a certain kind of geek will delight in the following post.
I favor Vim for most of my text editing. I wanted to compose my WordPress entries with Vim, especially after finding a Vim syntax file for Markdown. Great! But how to post those entries into WordPress?
I found a way last night. A Berkeley student with the same itch, Kesava Yerra, wrote a Python Vim script that posts to WordPress. Supposing you've installed the Ultimate Tag Warrior plug-in for WordPress, his script even lets you tag your post. (An earlier version didn't have tagging.)
