OU’s in the Final Four! The last time the Oklahoma University women made it to the final four, they went on to the championship game (2002) and lost to Connecticut, the best team of the decade. This year, it could turn out the same way, but they’ll have to get past Louisville first. (Sorry, but[...]
As I type this, Marline and I are honoring Earth Hour in Seminole, along with people in 4,000 other communities in 88 nations around the world. If you don’t know, this isn’t some weird, tree-hugging initiative (although it’s likely that many of the participants are weird, tree-hugging hippie-types). It’s just an hour, from 8:30 to[...]
Right this second, I’m watching live television. For free. On the internet. As I type this, I’m watching the halftime show of the Villanova-Pittsburgh basketball game (in the Elite Eight of the NCAA National Championship). The live feed from CBS is running on Yahoo! Sports . Commercials and all. But most TV isn’t available on[...]
Finally, five days after we returned from our trip, I’ve finished formatting and posting all the photos. The links to our photos, separated by day, are on my last entry, or you can visit my Arizona Trip 2009 collection to see all of them.
As some of you know, Marline and I went to Arizona for vacation this past week (March 15 through March 20, 2009). We saw quite a bit, learned a lot, and got really tired. The following is an account of that trip — not too brief, but hopefully fun to read. It was a whirlwind[...]
It took 13 hours and 45 minutes (real time), but we got to our hotel in Flagstaff, Ariz. More later.
I guess I’m writing so infrequently now that few of you are coming by to see… That’s okay. This is more for me than for anyone else. Sometimes I just need a place to stick my thoughts or list my activities. Speaking of activities, next week, Marline and I plan a vacation to Arizona, including[...]
Yesterday, I was privileged to cover the Class B girls’ State Basketball Championship for Oklahoma. The Varnum Lady Whippets won the game easily, 56-36, holding their opponents to only eight points in the second half. This was special to me for several reasons: 1) As the sports editor for our local paper, it’s always exciting[...]
Saturday, Marline and I got to spend time with my parents, which was a welcome break from all the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. We went over in the afternoon. Marline spent time talking with my Mom about recipes and other subjects, while my Dad and I talked about technology (he had the[...]

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[...]
