IS THE AMERICAN MEDIA TOO POLITICAL?
(Or, “Are American Citizens Not Political Enough?”) An opinion piece by Wil C. Fry Right now, I’m in the most politics-focused workplace that I’ve ever experienced: an all-local daily newspaper. But I clearly remember the other jobs I’ve held, the grocery stores, the factories, the fast-food joints. There was little talk of politics at those[...]
Lord, I’m Tired
Lord, I’m tired! All last week, during my vacation, I stayed up until 3 or 4 a.m., and slept until 11 a.m. or Noon. Then, yesterday, all of a sudden, I had to wake up and get to work by 8 in the morning. Which was okay, until last night, I still wanted to stay[...]

Maybe the title “Windy City” was given to the wrong town. I’ve been to Chicago, and it’s never as windy as it is here. Today, I saw a cardboard box flung by the wind; it was 30 feet above the highway, floating along like a miniature helicopter. Plus, the wind buffeted my car so hard[...]

When you Google “wil c. fry” (in quotes!) you only get 7 results. And all of them are me. That’s pretty cool. I’ve tried Googling several of my old high school friends, and haven’t been able to find any of them. But if they’re looking for me, I shouldn’t be too hard to find. Yesterday,[...]
April 22, 2005
Last night, after a full day of visiting my brother in college at Ada and shopping down there, I got home to hear my police scanner shouting about “shots fired” on Gessel street in Seminole. I forgot I was on vacation, grabbed my camera bag and a pack of cigarettes, and headed over there. Just[...]
Congress Missed Something
Congress missed something. Like they always do. For those of you who missed it, the United States’ chief legislative body passed another bill yesterday, this one aimed at allowing parents to use devices that edit “smut” from DVD movies, to protect their children. They’re sending the law to Mr. Bush for signing. I don’t have[...]
Vacation & Writing
Shay-la, you were right. “Ray” was a powerful movie. I know it’s not a good idea to write a movie review within minutes of seeing a movie, so I won’t do it. I’ll just say this. I’ve seen hundreds of “musical” movies, many of them with historical ramifications. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen[...]
Death and Taxes
(If you don’t pay income taxes, don’t bother reading this entry.) Since today is April 15, commonly known as “Tax Day,” I will offer here a few personal opinions on the U.S. Tax Code. I’m not a member of either of the two common political parties, so both of them should take offense when I[...]

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[...]
- Forgot To Mention: May by Wil C. Fry
➤ 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[...]
- May 18, 2013: More Hotter by Wil C. Fry
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[...]

(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Today, Rebecca — for the first time — went to the bathroom somewhere besides our house.

- May 14: Ikea & 34 Weeks by Wil C. Fry
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[...]

- May 12, 2013: Dry All Day by Wil C. Fry
Rebecca woke with a dry diaper this morning and kept her panties dry all day, using her potty correctly all day. We spent the day shifting from (1) us asking if she needed to go to (2) her telling us when she needed to go. And, after three days of holding it, she went #2[...]
- May 11, 2013: Dry All Day by Wil C. Fry
Rebecca kept her diaper dry all morning, while MF was at work, and then wore panties the rest of the day, keeping them dry too. She even surprised us by staying dry during a supper trip to Dairy Queen (she had requested an ice cream cone). We put a diaper on her for the trip[...]
