It’s been a decent week. I got Mark’s reply letter two days ago, and sent back a quick reply. He included a list of songs he wants copied — maybe I’ll work on that this weekend. M & D stopped by yesterday evening, just to talk, and I showed them some of the pics I[...]

Today, my landlord (Curry-Hardin Furniture store) sent over some people who replaced my front & back doors in the apartment. I can’t be sure because of the paint, but I think they’re steel doors, instead of the old wooden ones. My old back door wasn’t in horrible shape, but the front door was cracked, scratched,[...]
Earlier in the week, I went by Cox Communications, the local cable TV carrier, and picked up a couple of brochures. For months, my TV reception of FOX-25 has been fair to good, but recently, it began to suffer. Also, I am tiring of only having one channel to view. My parents (and Granny) get[...]
I took an IQ test over the internet today, and scored 161. That’s pretty high where I come from. At Mark’s apartment, he and I took a test, and both scored near 140. By the way, Mark called this morning & we talked for a while. I plan to write him a letter later in[...]
[Ed. note: answers were multiple choice; sometimes "my" answer isn't actually what I would have written, but it was the closest among the choices presented.] 1. It’s 6 am on Sunday morning, you are: Sleeping for the next 5 hours (or more). 2. It’s 2 am, the night before your term paper is due. You[...]
My week is almost over! Just one more day of work — tomorrow, and it shouldn’t be too long. I plan to take some more pictures of MDZ’s house as it continues to go up. Dad said they had the rafters on the second-floor rooms now, and some of the walls are going up. I[...]
Last week, I spent TUE, WED and THU afternoons at the courthouse in Wewoka, mostly due to my coverage of the Scott Fox stabbing trial — the jury found him guilty, as expected. It was the first time I’d ever been in a courtroom during a jury trial, and it went fairly well. I was[...]
I spent most of the day yesterday helping Joe paint his house. We painted the shell beige and the trim forest green. The weather was nice, and we listened to music while we painted. Joe bought me lunch at McDonald’s and made me eggs, sausage and biscuits for supper. We watched Hardball (with Keanu Reeves)[...]

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[...]
