The BBC reported today that the ice in the Artic failed to shrink to a smaller level than last year’s numbers. According to the article, 2007 set the record for least amount of ice (since records have been kept; only 30 years). Of course, the “global warming” scientists didn’t fall for the evidence. One said,[...]
On my other blog, I’ve posted recently on what I think is America’s greatest political issue, the growing polarization of our people into opposing camps. But I’ve also listed other big issues and asked for your thoughts as to what are the most important problems in our nation today. Feel free to read it, and[...]
I’m just going to bitch and moan for a moment, since that’s my right as a citizen of the United States of America. As it happens, I’m also a taxpayer, a voter, and a legal resident of the city of Seminole, Oklahoma (in Seminole County). In last night’s election, to be honest, I really didn’t[...]
It’s now a FEDERAL CRIME to annoy people. This is not a joke. I know I sometimes poke fun on this blog, but right now, I’m serious. CLICK HERE FOR STORY. Can our Congress seriously be considered in its “right mind?” I know, I know. They vote on crazy things all the time. But this[...]
I’ve often said, “I’m registered Independent, so I can make fun of both parties.” By “both,” obviously, I mean Republicans and Democrats, the only two party affiliations allowed in the state of Oklahoma, and the two parties that usually win elections across the U.S.A. And I usually just say this to avoid a silly political[...]
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,[...]
(Or, “Are American Citizens Not Political Enough?”) An opinion piece by Wil C. Fry Right now, I’m in the most politics-focused workplace that I’ve ever experienced: an all-local daily newspaper. But I clearly remember the other jobs I’ve held, the grocery stores, the factories, the fast-food joints. There was little talk of politics at those[...]
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[...]
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[...]

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[...]
