I returned the baby gate to the office doorway after a two-week experiment of having it removed. Rebecca simply couldn’t resist messing with the computer, the camera gear, the books, and other non-toddler-safe items in the office. I finally decided it was pointless to keep tempting her and then having to call her on it.[...]
I don’t mind posting this here, since it’s already been on national television. One of my family members recently took a picture of their prescription label and sent it in to Jay Leno for the “headlines” segment. Not only did Leno use the picture, but it became the talk of the town in Seminole, Okla.,[...]
Thursday, I picked up Rebecca’s birth certificate, driving to Temple for the task. Personally, I think the state could do a little better job with this process, since a birth certificate is required for so much later in life. But as I thought about it, I realized they may already be doing it the best[...]
As many of you may know, I’m the sports editor at our local newspaper. The only time I really get to take a break is during the summer months when our high schools are out for summer vacation. Well, that time has finally arrived. Sure, there are still things happening, like little league baseball, rodeos,[...]
Just so family members and friends will know… I’ve put in my notice at The Seminole Producer . Before anyone gets any strange ideas or jumps to any conclusions, let me clarify. #1. I don’t know when, exactly, I’m leaving, so my “notice” was a little open-ended. #2. I will definitely leave in less than[...]
Yes, I guess it HAS been that long. Nearly a month since my last post. For a veritable diary of what I’ve been doing lately, check my web page Recent Photoshoots. While the football season continues, the high school softball season is almost wrapped up. In fact, the softball season would have wrapped up Saturday[...]
Just to let everyone know, I’m still alive. Working on the football preview that our paper does every summer. That keeps me busy. Marline and I saw “Dreamgirls” last night, off a Netflix DVD. It’s the best movie I’ve seen all year, I think.
We stay too busy, I’ll admit. I need to learn to set aside 10 minutes a day to update this blog with our goings on, or at least my thoughts on life. Thanks to those few of you who still check by here once in a while to see if I’ve added a new post.[...]
Wow. I’ve now become a weekly, or bi-weekly blogger. Much different from my original blogging days. But that’s what married life will do to you. As most of you know, I cover sports for the local newspaper. Basketball season just ended, on Saturday night, and now we’re in baseball/softball season, not to mention track, tennis,[...]
Well, Carol, here it is — my weekly update. We just had a heck of a week at work — my boss was on vacation, as she always is the week before an election. Our newspaper was stuffed full of political ads, which made it bigger than usual. Sunday’s newspaper was 44 pages — the[...]
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[...]
