Ricky was a dog. A good dog. By our count, he was about 105 years old, in dog years, and he had his final adventure on Monday, April 20, 2009. He died by impact with a car on State Highway 9, a few hundred yards from his home of the last several years. Following are[...]
All during 2008, we heard how it was a bad year for “Big Oil.” And many big oil companies are still claiming that it’s true. So explain this: Exxon Mobil Tops Fortune 500 List . How much are you paying per gallon for gas? How many miles per gallon does your primary vehicle get?
I’ve been amazed lately at the popularity of Twitter.com, which has been growing radically over the past few months. Movie stars have Twitter accounts, as do news anchors, businesses, and even Oprah. What’s even more amazing is the amount of news stories dedicated to it. What is Twitter.com? According to the website’s front page, it[...]
A week ago, for my parent’s 40th wedding anniversary, Marline and I were going to take them on a day out, but the weather turned out badly (snow, rain, thunderstorms, all in the same day). So we did it yesterday, April 4. We took them to the Oklahoma History Center, next to the capitol, and[...]
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[...]

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[...]
