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[...]
Journal: July 11, 2005 Is there some kind of shitstorm attacking the Internet tonight? Nothing on Xanga will load, and I can’t view my profile here on MySpace. I’ve grown accustomed to one site or the other bogging down in the mire of ever-expanding programming language and features that most of us don’t use, but[...]
There is a saying, “you are what you eat.” Well, I’m not a ramen noodle, so it must not be true. I am also not a Dr. Pepper or a microwave pizza. I am, however, almost as strong as a ramen noodle. Hopefully, there is only one more day left in the trial that I’m[...]
Most of May was surprisingly cool, with quite a bit of rain, thunderstorms and tornadoes across Oklahoma, but there was little if any damage to the Seminole area. Then, the sun came out and it began to warm up. Friday, May 30, we hit 100 degrees. Records will show that neither Seminole nor OKC reached[...]
Have made some progress on Connors stories. After outlining them all, I picked the episode of Billy Connors’ time machine for the first novel. Then I made a rough outline of the story. Sunday night and most of the day Monday, I worked on writing that story. I’ve already written about 10,000 words on it,[...]
As of yesterday, I am The Seminole Producer’s new “City Editor,” which basically means nothing, except that the new title will go on my byline with each front page story, and my name & title will be added to the masthead on the back page of each paper. Karen says I’m already fulfilling the duties[...]
Dream: I dreamt I lived in a large house in the country, with Joe Hammond. Like most houses in my dreams, this one was old, with many odd levels, and weird connections between the rooms, but this one was made mostly of really old wood, with fading paint and a sinking foundation. We had turned[...]
MDZ’s house is still coming along. Now they have windows & doors in place, and all the shingles on the roof. The porch is done, for all intents and purposes. There is styrofoam on the outer walls, waiting for brick & vinyl siding to cover it. The plumbing and wiring is in place. Yesterday, after[...]
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[...]
