Today’s Supreme Court decision was, to say the least, disappointing. Five states had already passed laws making the rape of a child a capital crime , and others were about to follow suit. Polls show that the majority of Americans agree with this trend, especially in the states where the laws have already been passed.[...]
Yesterday, Marline and I noticed that we haven’t seen a truck commercial on television for at least two weeks, maybe more. When she moved here, two years ago, she pointed out something that I hadn’t noticed before. There are always truck commercials here. Every month is “Chevy Truck Month,” according to the advertisements. But suddenly,[...]
Friday evening, in between bouts of formatting vacation photos, Marline and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary. Sometimes, it’s difficult to believe we’ve been married for two years! Marline and I had dinner at Cazadorez, a local Mexican-food restaurant, and then returned home to exchange presents. CLICK HERE to see Marline’s presents. CLICK HERE to[...]
(Photos from June 2, 2008 * slideshow) (Click here for a short synopsis of entire trip) (Copyright © 2008 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Monday was our last full day in beautiful and historic New England, and in a way it was the culmination of the trip for me. You see,[...]
(Photos from June 1, 2008 * slideshow) (Click here for a short synopsis of entire trip) On Sunday, June 1, Marline and I ate breakfast at her aunt’s house, and I got a few shots of some of their pets before we left. There was Binky the dog, Cookie the cat, and a few birds[...]
(Photos from May 31, 2008 * slideshow) (Click here for short synopsis of entire trip) On Saturday, Marline and I breakfasted with Barbara Delaney, and I read my first-ever hard copy of the New York Times, which Mrs. Delaney gets each morning. I took several shots inside Mrs. Delaney’s historic home, and they’re included in[...]
(Photos from May 29, 2008 * slideshow) (Click here for short synopsis of entire trip) On Thursday, the first day of our vacation, Marline and I awoke at close to our normal time (7 a.m. for me). We had already packed almost everything, calculating very carefully what we’d need. After showers, etc., we added a[...]
Earlier today, Marline and I arrived home after a six-day vacation in New England. Here’s a quick travelogue — I’ll add more details later, including links to photos — It’ll take me a while to work through them all. *** Thursday (May 29, 2008) *** (Thursday details — Thursday photos) Flew from Oklahoma City to[...]
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[...]
Houses should come with more shelves, in my opinion. One can never have too many shelves, cupboards, cabinets, closets, and “storage solutions”.
