——————————————————————————————– One thing that many husbands quickly learn is “My wife is always right.” Of course, many of them simply learn to say this — whether they believe it or not — just to appease the raging beast who wears the other ring in the family. But others, like me, have learned that it’s usually[...]
——————————————————————————————– Sanyo Eneloop batteries, taken with a Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM lens. All those years of struggling with NiMH or NiCAD rechargeable batteries are over. These Eneloops maintain a charge for months just like alkaline batteries, but can be recharged in a matter of hours just like regular rechargeables. Finally. (Copyright © 2009 by[...]
My wife and saw “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” today. Click here to read my review.
Last night, my wife and I made the short trip to Byng, Okla., where we had dinner and spent the evening with my photographer friend Richard Barron and his wife Abby. Aside from tasty food and stimulating conversation, we spent some time taking pictures, both indoors and outdoors. Read Richard’s account of it here. [...]
You’ve heard of picture in picture? This is bokeh in bokeh. The small picture you see was taken with, and is being displayed on the Canon Rebel XT (with the 50mm f/1.8 lens). The full picture below was taken with the Canon Rebel XTi and the 85mm f/1.8. (Copyright © 2009 by Wil C. Fry.[...]

Marline got this Snoopy doll for me a couple of years ago at a conference she attended. I’ve had it on my desk at work ever since. For what it’s worth, I had Snoopy sheets when I was a child, and my favorite song has always been Snoopy vs. The Red Baron by the Royal[...]

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[...]
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[...]
