I was in our neighborhood, but there was a new street that I hadn’t noticed before, with one new house built on it. I was interested in the house because its lot was larger than the rest, twice as wide and five times as long. It appeared to be recently finished but empty. I guessed[...]
Finally got comfortable with Windows 8 today. In the afternoon, Rebecca helped me dismantle the old computer. Diagnosis: DUST. Six years of dust collection will ruin any computer. And I think this one collected 12 years of dust in six years. We took a few pictures, but I’m behind on pictures. Check Flickr for updates.
90°F again. Is it even legal to be that warm this late in the year? But seriously, it actually feels very nice to be in the 80s most of the day and low 70s at night. In the morning, Rebecca put all her dolls in her bed, up against the pillow, with the comforter covering[...]
I lived in an abandoned JC Penney store located deep in bayou country in Louisiana, miles from the nearest road. The store was built in log cabin style, inside and out, but was as large as any major department store. It was on stilts, like any good structure built near the bayou, and had a[...]
[As with about half of my dreams, this one is easily connected to real-life events of recent days.] Surfing the internet, I visited a news website (CNN or BBC?) There were four or five news stories on the front page, the same stories that are always on the front page of news sites: some foreign[...]
In my dream last night, I was either a night watchman or some kind of clerk at a huge warehouse for a national chain of home supply stores. The warehouse was a maze of giant metal racks holding millions of items, all the way from nuts and bolts up to large electronics and appliances. Apparently,[...]
I saw that my darling blogged about having a strange dream last night. She’s not the only one. Mine was odd too. It may have been more than one dream, but I remembered them all as one. Normally, I dream in high-definition color, with incredibly realistic detail; sometimes even more realistic than real life, if[...]
Let’s see… today, I trained an intern, filled two inside pages, wrote two front page stories, edited three front page stories, had two of my pics from last night on the front page (wrote two captions), laid out the front page, typed up police reports from the whole county, and worked on a local story[...]
I drove through a cold front on the way home, and it was a good thing… It was hotter than Satan’s scrotum today. But the front cooled things down a little. I hear it’s bringing rain tonight. We’ll see about that. Last night, I got on a roll writing one of my stories, and it’s[...]
I had a dream last night. I was eating French toast in a Denny’s, and flirting with the gorgeous yet intelligent waitress (go figure.) Turns out the meal contained a tiny transmitter that was meant for another customer, and I ended up being followed by a few dozen agents. I knew someone was following me,[...]

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[...]
