Last night, I didn’t get much sleep due to a splitting headache. I thought I was going to die. This was odd, since I usually don’t get headaches — I don’t have migraines, or anything like that. I took Tylenol, and I writhed in pain, literally whimpering as I tried to get to sleep. But[...]
For the first time in my life, I was inspired to contact the Better Business Bureau . It was over a subscription issue with a magazine. I should have learned the first time that it’s near-impossible to cancel a subscription, no matter who started it. A few years ago, some still-unknown “friend” or relative hooked[...]

As requested, I’ve also reviewed “Thank You for Smoking”. I won’t give it as high a mark as I gave “V for Vendetta,” which was a MUST SEE, but “Thank You” IS really hilarious, and probably worth a watch, if you have a well-developed sense of humor. EDIT: My Flickr Photostream has now been viewed[...]
As I may have mentioned previously, I saw “V for Vendetta” while visiting New York a week or so ago. I absolutely loved this movie. To read the review I’ve written, click here.
Try out this “April Fool” Quiz , which is in places poorly typed, but it’s fun nonetheless. I got the link from my cousin Cassie , and I scored 10 out of 15. I’d actually heard of some of these things. ——————————— EDIT: Cassie, I tried to leave a comment on your site. It lets[...]
Click here to read the story I wrote today about a local police department having to attack a group of skunks. Yes, I said skunks. AND, if you haven’t seen them yet, check out the pictures I took in New York City, either by viewing my NYC photoset, or my Flickr Photostream .
CHAPTER FOUR My Time With Marline (Author’s Note: I saved this chapter till last because I felt it was the most important part of my experience in New York City.) The thought hit me like a lightning bolt. The next time I see the woman I love, she’ll be moving in with me for good.[...]
CHAPTER THREE (Of the continuing saga of my week-long visit to New York City) The Little Differences The only reason anyone travels anywhere is because of the differences. If every place in the world were exactly the same, there would be no reason to go anywhere. But the big differences are usually obvious, and don’t[...]
CHAPTER TWO The City New York City ( official site ) has been called “The Capital of the Wold,” and more than most other cities, it can put up a good argument for such a title. Not only is it the headquarters of the infamous United Nations (situated in Manhattan), but the centers of so[...]
This is from a year ago, but I don’t think I ever mentioned it. My wife and I always laugh when reminding each other of this story. We were at the neighborhood playground. Rebecca was drawing on the sidewalk using a white rock to make white lines. Two other girls, probably four and five years[...]

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[...]
