Still sick today, but learning to live with it — as always. Feeling feverish, with chills, and a lot of nasal congestion. Some of the snot is blue. Dad came by the office this morning & I showed him around, but suggested that he come back some day @ about 1 p.m., so he could[...]
This morning I was sick — coughing & sneezing & feeling aching in my joints. It started sometime yesterday, but really hit me today. I was dizzy a few times at work, and hot & cold all day. Still, I went to work. Just after 9 a.m., I went west on SH 59, and took[...]
Today, I burned a CD for Brent Harjo, read in “The Stand”, and scanned in some more of my old photos. Just after noon, I went to the bank & cashed my last Wrangler check. It was an unexpected check, but apparently I’d earned it — it was the vacation time I had accrued but[...]
Another week has gone by & I still like my new job. Most days, I have an article on the front page, sometimes two, since I’m one of the two “news writers”. I’m still meeting new people and learning more about our county. When I got the job, I was thinking, “It’s a small-time newspaper[...]
Tuesday (the 16th), I started my job at the Seminole Producer, which has been a learning experience. I had already met Karen Anson, the managing editor, but Tuesday, I met Ryan Nix, the “events editor”, and Donny Cofer, the sports editor. Marilyn & Mr. Keisman, who work in advertising. John Lewis, Katie & Susie, in[...]
Saturday, I spent most of the day at MDZ’s, doing laundry — three loads, & watching football games. OU’s game wasn’t televised. Zane & I helped D extend his trail around the canyon a ways (to the SW of the trailer). Then D helped me finish the trail that LRT & I had started, over[...]
Last night, I stayed awake until after 4am, reading “Insomnia” by Stephen King, and didn’t wake up this morning until after Noon. I checked my emails, sent my poems to NG so she could copy them off for her class (I sent about 8 non-rhyming poems, so I can teach the students about free-verse poems).
It’s now been one full month since the terrorists hijacked the 4 airliners and crashed them into our World Trade Center Towers, and the Pentagon. For 5 days now, the United States, with the help of Great Britain, Germany, France, and other nations, has been bombing Afghanistan nightly, and dropping medical relief supplies during the[...]
Wednesday, I checked on my application at the Producer, to no avail, and got my application at Wal-Mart.
Yesterday, I got an application from the Seminole Producer, and visited Goff (a factory nearby).

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[...]
