1. First grade teacher’s name: Mrs. Pippenger 2. Last person you kissed: a little bitty baby (my nephew) 3. Last word you said: “creepy?” 4. Last song you sang: “The Reason” — Hoobastank 5. Last person you hugged: HC (my cousin) 6. Last thing you laughed at: an idiot dispatcher on the police radio 7.[...]
To answer a few questions (from the bulletin board)… My T-shirt currently says: “BEER… Not just for breakfast anymore.” (I bought it in the 1990s, when I did an awful lot of drinking. [smile].) Describe myself in one word: impossible
OTHER NEWS My cousin HC has moved back to Oklahoma! This makes me happy, mainly because she was one of my very best friends while we grew up, but also because it’s nice to have more of the family around here. She won’t be living in Seminole, except for a short time, while her house[...]
Remember, a couple of weeks ago, when I mentioned getting punched in the face (June 15, I think). We thought it was over when I declined to file charges, and the culprit shook my hand, apologizing sincerely for the incident. Well… it’s not over. As usual, in a small town, word will spread. From cop[...]
Seems I’ve actually hit a nerve with that post about the government chipping away at people’s rights. My friend Cat added the following comment: “…try these: In Texas, if you don’t have a state-issued ID on your person at any given time you can and will be taken to jail and held for a minimum[...]
My very good, longtime friend Mark made this comment about my last entry: “…The reporter issue has been distorted somewhat. It has been brewing for several years because there have been several instances where reporters made up information and sources to get a good story; remember the Dan Rather thingy. The information, if true, could[...]
I read on a blog where some 15-year-old kid called a particular band “the greatest band ever.” Doesn’t that seem a little idiotic? When the truth is that The Bloodhound Gang is the greatest band ever. (Ha! That was a joke. To quote Good Will Hunting, “I was being ironical.”) The BTK murderer pleaded guilty[...]
Here are some interesting news stories I found today. Nun Killed During Exorcism (USA Today) I wonder how long it will be until they make the movie?
Ah. “Shaun of the Dead” was one of the movies I rented last night. It was better than I had expected (I hadn’t expected much.) Lots of people died. No nudity. Lots of cussing. “Fuck-a-doodle-doo” was one of my favorites — haven’t heard that in a while. I had French toast for lunch today, with[...]
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[...]

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[...]
