The National Guard unit from Seminole was activated today, as Gov. Brad Henry mobilized 15,000 of the state’s brightest and best to assist with the disaster in Louisiana. The local Guardsmen will be leaving some time in the morning… They don’t actually get their orders until tonight. Also, the rear-view mirror in my car just[...]
When Firefox begins behaving badly, I had no choice but to go back to my old favorite, K-Meleon, which I found about a year ago. Anyway… Am I the only one who crapped my pants when I saw gas prices today? Probably not. Everyone’s talking about it, and I hate to talk about what everyone’s[...]
Thanks again to everyone for the wealth of comments. Some of you I will see very soon… The Sasakwa folks at the game on Thursday, and then Marline on Saturday (YES!)… As for the others, we’ll get together at a later date (for instance, Cassie, you’d BETTER come visit us before you and the hubby[...]
Apparently, Kambri‘s boyfriend/client will be on Comedy Central tonight. So sad, but I don’t get that channel. Somebody watch it and tell me about it, okay?
For those of you who like “tweaking” Windows, and adding little applications just for fun, you may want to try “Power Menu.” But maybe not if you’re short on RAM or have an old Celeron processor, like me. With it, you can minimize any “window” to the system tray (instead of the taskbar), AND —[...]
Thank goodness. I think the hat situation is getting straightened out. Thanks, Kambri, for clarifying in your comment the things I didn’t say in my post. Anyway, I don’t look that good in a cowboy hat. Or a baseball cap, or any other kind of head covering. I’ll just go bareheaded if it’s all the[...]
Wow. It seems I caused a stir amidst my family without any intention, simply by posting an innocent picture on this blog. Several entries ago, there was a pic of Marline and I wearing cowboy hats. The explanation is that we were visiting one of my cousins in Edmond, whose young son was showing us[...]
Here’s a pic of me today, wearing the new shirt and tie that Marline gave me (isn’t she thoughtful?)
Wow. Now I feel old. :-) And yes, I did grab me a young, hot chick (isn’t that what all us old guys go for? LOL.) But when I’m 109 years old, she’ll be 100, so it’s not that much difference, right? Cassie, I really don’t know if John lives at home still… the last[...]
TO EMPTY ME Aug. 24, 2005 (7:35 p.m.) By Wil C. Fry Every day I’ve ever lived has led to this Forgiving myself and finding bliss The lessons learned are clearer now Since she found me; I don’t know how The long, low road on which I traveled Where every hope and dream unraveled Was[...]
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[...]
