Can you believe it’s a year! Already! Wow. Yes, today (July 31, 2006) is the one-year anniversary of when I first spoke to Marline over the telephone. Here’s what I wrote about it the next day: Here’s the thing. I USED to think I hated talking on the phone. But yesterday, I was on the[...]
Today, after work, Marline and I volunteered to be part of a photo project. A friend of mine is taking photo courses, and had assignments that required other people. If he lets me, I’ll post a couple of the shots online, after they’re processed. After coming home, Marline and I did a project of our[...]
It’s not quite a “trial by fire,” but my recent car troubles have all come at the same time. A month ago, it was the fan belt (which, on modern cars, powers much more than the fan). A week ago, it was the car’s battery, which died. Today, it was the alternator. The budget is[...]
Well, since my last entry, Marline has helped me at work five more times, though now she’s getting paid for it (not much, but a little something to help us out). Friday night, she helped for seven hours. The first half, she was downloading and formatting filler; the second half, she was filling pages. Our[...]
Saturday was tough, but we made it through, thanks to Marline’s help on Friday night. In the evening, we went to my parents’ home, to do some laundry, have dinner, etc. On Sunday, we drove to Oklahoma City. I should say, Marline drove to Oklahoma City. That’s right, folks. I sat over in the passenger[...]
The old phrase “Thank God it’s Friday” doesn’t really mean anything to me anymore. For nearly five years, I’ve been working on a Tuesday-through-Saturday schedule. Today (Friday) was dangerously busy. Besides the normal get-up-and-get-to-work-by-8-o’clock routine, I left work before lunch to pick up Marline, since several of the people from work decided to have lunch[...]
If you want to read a really long and rambling complaint of mine, click here. It’s the promised complaint about all the crap that gets installed on new computers besides what you really need.
Thanks for the information, Cassie! (My cousin Cassie has just settled in Germany). To catch everyone up, Marline and I have been organizing our lives, developing routines, and getting used to married life. It’s fun, it’s frustrating, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. One thing is for sure — with Marline around, there is[...]
She Sleeps Wil C. Fry, 7/7/06 She sleeps One fire-hot hand draped on my chest Cool night air whispers in open window Her heart beating The time-stamp of the universe Who is this curious Woman Who has attached herself to me? In moments of triumph In times of despair She has always been there Destiny’s[...]
Wow. I’m typing this on a brand new computer. It’s really nice. THANK YOU MARLINE.
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[...]
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[...]
Big Milestone: Rebecca is now Three Feet Tall. Not quite tall enough for the WNBA, but on her way. She also crossed the 27-pound threshold for the first time (that we know of; we haven’t weighed her in a while). She’s 2.58 years (31 months) old. Compared to me: My mother didn’t record my height[...]
I woke up early today (because I went to bed on time last night?) and thought that would give me a little more time before RLF awoke. No — her new waking cycle is somehow tied to mine. Perhaps she hears the coffee-maker — I think I’m otherwise very quiet when I get up. She[...]
