It seems my gilded plans and dreams shall come crashing down; I was notified by a grinding sound in my aging Corsica’s brakes that I will not be buying my new camera as soon as I’d hoped. Unless I sacrifice my safety to drive to OKC Monday afternoon and purchase a new camera quickly, before[...]
Hey! Thanks for the prayers. My vacation is now set for Aug. 14-20. I know some people think that praying for something like that is a little silly, but screw them until they get off their high horses. It’s a big deal to me. :-) Have a good one; I’ll most likely post more tonight[...]
This is probably a silly thing to say, but I’m in a good mood. Oh, I’m usually in a decent mood, but my “mood meter” is a little higher today than usual. I had a good day at work, too.
I was tagged by Mark to answer the following: THREE NAMES YOU GO BY: 1. SaintSeminole 2. Wilmarov 3. Millal Ba
Can you believe I was almost too busy to post? It’s true. Answered one very long email from a long-lost friend from my college days, and an even longer one from a new friend who’s turned out to be quite interesting (and startlingly attractive!) (Edit: The previous sentence was the first mention of Marline on[...]
I must clarify for Sara — I’m the shortest male on my mother’s side of the family. And that’s including the in-laws. In the past, there were two uncles that would be shorter than me now, but one has died, and the other one divorced my aunt a few years ago. The rest of the[...]
As Mark pointed out, my Poems About People page (Now deprecated; check my Poem Index) also has a poem about him, which I wrote a few years ago. I’ll admit I constructed the page poorly. The poems should be in reverse order, so I recommend starting at the bottom. (I hope to soon rearrange the[...]
Cassie, I could have sworn I saw your sister in Wal-Mart today… Just as I was heading out, she was heading in. Did you know she was coming to Seminole for a visit? I hadn’t heard. I would have run over and talked to her, but my cart was filled with frozen foods that weren’t[...]
Wow. I know somebody who dates somebody who was interviewed by “Penthouse.” I’ve never looked at that publication, but might consider it, to read his interview in the upcoming edition. (Click here for more.) Does this count as “a brush with fame?” Just kidding. I once ate lunch with a teenage guitar player who later[...]
I saw “The Island” tonight (made by Michael Bay, starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson.) Before going, I read a few reviews of the film, all of which seemed to only have a passing interest in it. For instance, The Washington Post said: “For about 3/4 of its length, The Island sets up a fascinating[...]
(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Benjamin is a week old today. He turned his head from left to right — and back again — while on his tummy on the Baby Einstein gym. Rebecca also did it for the first time on that gym. She was 33 days old when[...]
Benjamin was awake for a good two hours during the night, feeding on and off and generally just wanting to be held and to look around and listen to us talk to him. So I was exhausted when Rebecca woke me at 8 a.m. (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
Benjamin at four days old (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) The first day with all of us in the house (Thursday, June 13) passed quickly. I honestly don’t recall most of what we did. I think we ate at Chick-fil-A for lunch, Benjamin’s first time in a business establishment —[...]
Morning: Rebecca, my parents and I all drove to the hospital to meet Benjamin. Took a bunch of pictures. MF said she was fine, didn’t need me to stay. (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
First photo of Benjamin (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) The day began slowly enough. My wife went to work as scheduled. Rebecca and I played in the back yard as long as the shade of the house would allow. I should have known something was off; she hasn’t wanted to[...]
Benjamin Wesley Fry was born at 7 p.m. June 11, 2013, at Metroplex Adventist Hospital in Killeen, Texas. He was 6 lbs. 2 oz. That’s all I know as I write this. I have a much longer entry scheduled for tonight, but it probably won’t go live until morning. :-) CORRECTION: 6 lbs. 1.8 oz.[...]
We hit 99°F today, which is a record high for this day, according to both weather.com and wunderground.com, and the hottest day of 2013 so far. Still, the month has been cooler than the past two Junes. (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
Rebecca played in the evening with her friend (“Daley”) across the street. They’re moving in about a month. They played tug-of-war with a jump rope, neither ever winning or letting go — it’s been fun to see her play with someone so equally matched in almost every way, which seems to be rare among children.[...]
