American news has literally gone into the crapper.

I love Jeanne Moos though — Craig’s Bathroom Follies

Fresh on the heels of creating my first Wikipedia page, I’ve created a second page — this one is for USS Garcia DE/FF-1040, a ship my father served aboard during his time in the U.S. Navy.

It feels good to ensure notable people, places or things are represented on Wikipedia. My next article to create or contribute to at some point…? One for the second oldest municipal airport in the USA, Stinson Municipal Airport (KSSF) in San Antonio.

P.S. to Justin: I miss flying with you, and I really, really, really miss clouds!

It’s time now for another edition of …

Sara’s Podcast: Gigglesaurus^*
(Recorded August 15, 2007 — Sara’s 5 month birthday!)

^* Currently requires iTunes (PC or Mac)

For earlier editions of Sara’s podcasts, visit the Multimedia Baby entry from late May 2007.

So, we’re on a bunch of firsts with Sara right now. Nothing major—no, she can’t drive a stick, yet, or open the pop top on our favorite chilled beverages (Dr. Pepper, for now… but I could go for a beer once I stop breastfeeding!)

Naw, instead the firsts are a little more mundane:
First taste of carrots & first time in highchair (w/Dad, yesterday):

First carrots & in highchair (w/Mom, same day)

First time holding the bottle all by herself! (today)

Miles Levin passed away on Sunday morning. Cancer ended his life, but it did NOT cheapen it.

The introduction of first solid foods to Sara continues to go well. We still had plenty of the pureed bananas left over, so that’s the only solid food she had today. Suffice it to say, they were a big hit — between lunch and dinner, she finished them off completely!
