Marline’s in week 2 of her job, and I think it’s going well… She’s already learning roads about which I was unaware. As I knew she would, she’s figuring out shortcuts to and from work, etc. I had told her this would happen, and encouraged her by reminding her that most of these towns out[...]
Just so everyone will know… After all that trouble a couple of weeks ago, Marline finally got her transcripts from NYU. Interesting thing, though. They were addressed to ME. That’s right, the envelope had my name on it. How in the heck would NYU get my name? Good question. Marline’s transcript request had HER name[...]
Cassie (regarding you comment on my previous post), I know this car wouldn’t make it in Washington, not without a garage, or at least a tarp over it. LOL. In all other respects, I have no complaints about the 1991 Buick Park Avenue. It’s much better than my car, even when I first got my[...]
Somehow, I knew that I wouldn’t blog as often, once Marline moved here, and it’s happened. But today, she’s out of the house… It’s her FIRST DAY AT WORK . It’s odd for me. Since she moved here on May 31, I haven’t been in my apartment alone more than 20 minutes at a time[...]
(Note: Cassie; I’ve been wanting to see that Akeelah & the Bee movie for a while…) MARLINE HAS A JOB. I won’t say too much, for confidentiality reasons (that’s a big deal in social work). But I can say that she’ll be making about twice as much money as I do, and that[...]
Just so everyone will know, today, after faxing the request three more times, Marline finally got someone in the office to admit they’d received the request. They said the transcripts would be sent out in 7-10 business days (and then add at least four days for the U.S. mail to find Seminole — it sometimes[...]
Thanks to Cassie and Kambri for the well-worded and well-thought comments about the Best Picture question. Again, it all comes down to taste with the individual. My favorite movie? You may not like it all. And vice versa. And, of course, in a big-budget business like the Academy Awards, it’s about much more than what[...]
(NOTE: I’m NOT publicly disagreeing with my wife. LOL. I’m just going to express a different opinion here.) In comments on my last entry, it was mentioned that if a movie wins the Oscar for “Best Picture,” it may not be worth watching. In general, I’ll agree that the Oscars have made a laughingstock of[...]
Well, Marline and I finally got on the Netflix bandwagon (edit: she had it before, back in NYC). We got a free trial about a week ago, and started ordering movies. So far, we’ve only seen two, but it’s a cool deal. Pay $14 bucks a month, and get unlimited movies (no more than two[...]
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[...]
