At the rape trial, the lawyers picked a jury, but then decided not to hold the trial until next week. The murder trial didn’t pan out, either. One of the defendants entered a guilty plea and the other one got his case postponed until April. So, I’m free for the rest of the week. I’m[...]
It seems I only have one day off of work this week — today. Tomorrow (Monday) would normally be my second day off, but duty calls. A first-degree rape jury trail begins in our county tomorrow, and I’m the guy that’s set to cover it. The case is from three years ago, so most of[...]
I’m tired. I feel like I’ve been climbing and climbing, only to discover that the whole mountain is sinking. I need a backrub. My ideal woman (and it changes from day to day): -shorter and heavier than a supermodel, but with more brains. -can play chess -doesn’t watch “Survivor,” etc. -alive.
I’m still terribly sore from cutting firewood and clearing brush on Monday. I guess being inside most of the winter allowed me to get out of shape. Time to hit the weight bench and the track again. Will I quit smoking? Probably not. No one’s given me a good enough reason yet. Cost? I would[...]
We got our contest results back today (for the “2004 Better Newspaper Contest.”) We sucked. Really hard and long, apparently. This a deep-throat kind of sucking, you could say. For a paper that usually wins awards out the ass, it was a slap in the face. We came in dead last in our division, in[...]
Watching the lightning tonight was therapeutic. I always feel like a child when I’m watching a thunderstorm — it’s so vast, so powerful, so majestic, that in comparison, I am but a tiny, insignificant speck. It’s a good feeling, sometimes, to have your ego checked by such a grand display. There’s nothing I can do[...]
I got a compliment out of my boss today, which doesn’t happen all the time. At first, when I was hired, she was extremely complimentary about my writing, and constantly fed my ego. It was the same when I first started taking pictures. Lately though, after three years of consistent good work, I don’t hear[...]
I started my own religion once, but it sucked. In fact, it sucked worse than most religions already out there. So we quit. What was so sucky about my religion? It didn’t make any money. We (myself and a few converts) were much worse at earning cash than the current religions. The Pickle was our[...]
Nobody should take me too seriously, when I’m bitching about random subjects in this journal. They’re just little pet peeves, and I have to air them out a little. But I’m not a bitcher or whiner, most of the time. There’s too much to enjoy, too much to see, hear, taste, smell and feel, in[...]
Why do people use idiotic and trite phrases like “Git ‘er done”? I mean, it was only BARELY funny the first few times that redneck comedian said it. After that, even he sounded dumb. But you hear people all over the place saying it, and then they give you that look like you should smile[...]
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[...]
