Sunday, as we readied to leave the house — planning to do several loads of laundry and then head to my nephew’s state championship game — my car broke down. Yes, my 1993 Chevrolet Corsica, which has been so good to me, threw its belt. When I tried to put it back on, with Marline’s[...]
Wow, my web readership is still growing! The Story of Us helped to gain a few new readers. I posted a link to that post on My Flickr, next to a photo of Marline and I that I inserted into my Flickr profile. Several of my Flickr friends have now come to the blog as[...]
Thanks, everyone, for your comments on my last entry. That was a pretty heartfelt one, I think. Thursday afternoon, I covered four (count ‘em) softball games in our county, and got some of my best pics so far (in my humble opinion). Seeing how softball and baseball aren’t my favorite sports, and I know less[...]
Apparently, even the most regular of us bloggers have to take a few days off occasionally, even if it’s unintentional. Sometimes, the trials and responsibilities of real life have to be tended to. Since my last post (Thursday), I’ve put in a couple of good days of work. Thursday’s paper was the largest Thursday in[...]
Today was another Tuesday, which should translate as “Monday” to all you people. Tuesday is the day we return from our weekend and catch up on all the news. This weekend was a doozy in Seminole County. Not only did Wewoka advance in basketball to the STATE TOURNAMENT, but there was a double-murder and suicide,[...]
It boggles my mind that I’ll be in New York City in just about SIX DAYS. I haven’t been there since August 1995, when I flew from Little Rock, Ark., to St. Louis, then joined my fiancée at the time and flew the rest of the way to NYC. The only other time I was[...]
My darling Marline is sick today; I think it’s the same thing I’ve had for a week and a half. I’d think that I gave it to her, except I doubt you get catch viruses over the phone. Not physical viruses, anyway. She’s a strong lady, I know she’ll get well soon. Last night, I[...]
How disappointing! I guess the Little River Conference really didn’t want to play their all-star game. No one showed up at the baseball field this evening. No one except me, that is. They were supposed to play at 6:30 p.m. I waited for about 20 minutes, and then drove up to Varnum, where the girls[...]
Okay, I’m too political and “grown up.” I blab on and on, endlessly about subjects only I care about. Fine. I’ll quit. No I won’t. I’ll just compromise. I’ll put the personal, fun stuff at the top of each entry, so if you don’t want to read my blatherings, you don’t have to. This evening,[...]
Today, in Seminole: (Copyright © 2005 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
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[...]
