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,[...]
Hey, folks! Thanks, everyone, for still coming by. I’ve been terribly busy taking pictures of basketball games — there’s a game just about every night now, since all the schools are making up games they missed during the recent ice storm. On my nights off, Marline and I are still Netflixing. This week so far,[...]
The snowstorm that was predicted for this past weekend never actually happened for Seminole, which was something of a blessing after all the ice and sleet of the previous weekend. Of course, I LOVE winter weather, but I couldn’t stand all the cancellations of basketball games. I was going through withdrawals until Saturday, when I[...]
Thanks again to everyone who left comments on my latest post (Holiday Quiz). That was fun. I’ve just finished perhaps the busiest week of my year, with full coverage of the 2006 Little River Conference high school basketball tournament. (That link will take you to My Flickr site, to all the photos I’ve uploaded so[...]
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[...]
Looks like married life has taken me down from one blog a day, to once a week. That’s fine by me. I didn’t have that many readers anyway… Anyway, this week has been busy — I left my car at the shop over the weekend, and brought it back two more times this week, to[...]
Wow. This past week was crazy, especially the last half. On Thursday, I spent the afternoon in Konawa, covering the regional softball tournament, that included two local teams (Konawa and Strother-Varnum). Then, that evening, I covered a football game in Maud, along with the homecoming pageantry. Maud won the game, which makes it two in[...]
Thanks to Cassie and Kambri for the well-worded and well-thought comments about the Best Picture question. Again, it all comes down to taste with the individual. My favorite movie? You may not like it all. And vice versa. And, of course, in a big-budget business like the Academy Awards, it’s about much more than what[...]
I can’t believe it’s been four days since I’ve blogged! I think this is the first time I’ve gone that long since my friend Juanna invited me to see her blog in February of 2005. Since then, I’ve been on here almost every day. Anyway, I’ve been crazy-busy with sports lately. All the schools in[...]

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[...]
