Saturday, I worked on my letter to Stephanie J. I never quite got the [guts] I needed to tell her how I feel. But I hinted pretty strongly, and used choice quotes from my old letters to her. I also included some of the newer poems I’ve written to her. Maybe she’ll get the point.[...]
Gilbert handed out our paychecks as soon as we got to work & then let us go (since it’s inventory weekend — we don’t have to be back till Tuesday at 08:00.) So I cashed my check then drove to OKC (& went to Best Buy) & bought a DVD player, “End Of Days” (on[...]
Another beautiful day has come and gone, and what did I do with it? Not much. I had an “okay” day at work, finishing 40 bundles by 2:00pm, which is when I left the plant. I came home & typed in a few of my journals, through December 2000. Then I watched “News Radio” reruns.[...]
NOTE: I was just reading my old letters (as I converted them from WPT to Word97), and I came across a reference to Sonya Bryant in a letter to Stephanie J., dated Jan. 16, 1998. So, apparently, I met Sonya earlier than I’d thought.

YES! I’m finally typing CURRENT journals into MY OWN computer! What a relief! Of course, I still plan to use my notebook on occasion. For instance, if I’ve already readied myself for bed and the computer is shut down — if I have a “final thought of the day”, I may jot it down, then[...]
finished converting “Adult Journal” files, through Nov. 2000. Now, I just need to type in the journals from this notebook (“Darker Blue Notebook”) and all my future journals will be on computer. Watched “News Radio” reruns. Realized that if I drink two Tequizas per day, that’s $60 per month for beer, so I will discontinue[...]
“Poetry on the Rocks” at NG’s canyon — very enjoyable, especially the cowboy poems. Again saw Rachel, one of the cute girls from NG’s class in Shawnee (the one I spoke at last fall). Helped D & Z with hauling some fallen trees to brush piles. Watched Spurs win Game 1 of the first round[...]
Steak dinner at MDZ’s; talk to D about jobs, bosses, difficulties in communication.
This video is is cuter without sound (I forgot to mute the TV before recording). Rebecca was proud that she drinks out of a glass now, without spilling: (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
Flickr did their biggest change ever this evening. There’s a little more about that on my other blog. I’m seriously considering ending my eight-year relationship with Flickr. If only there were another decent place to share photos (and remember, I said “decent”, so no one suggest Facebook). Rebecca worked on learning my limits again today.[...]
WEATHER: 72-93°F, mostly cloudy RLF requested the playground today, after a few weeks of not going, so I said okay. She wouldn’t walk there; only rode in the stroller. And only played there for about five minutes before she was ready to come home. (This is why we’d quit going in the first place.) She[...]
➤ A couple of nights ago, Rebecca woke up crying about 2 a.m. My wife heard it, rushed in. RLF said she needed to go to the bathroom. MF took her; RLF did. Then RLF went back to sleep. (I didn’t wake up. Noises will prevent me from falling asleep, but very little will wake[...]
After a cooler than average spring, yesterday was the hottest day of the year (high: 92°F) until today’s record high of 96°F. Had a pretty good day with Rebecca (scroll down for photos).
Rebecca did well with potty again today — still working on #2. After an early, short, and surprising nap (she put herself down at 11:50 for just an hour), much of the afternoon was full of fussing and craziness. I got a new debit card today, to replace the old one that was cracking and[...]

A few days ago, we passed what I’ve jokingly called “the Rebecca threshold” with our Benjamin pregnancy. She was born about 7 weeks before her due date. As of May 10, we passed that point in the current pregnancy. My wife’s at 34 weeks as of today, and about nine pounds lighter than she was[...]
