Christmas (last part)

I spent Christmas day with Joyce at her house. I gave her a silver heart ring from Tiffany’s, and she gave me a bathrobe to keep at her house so I wouldn’t have to wear basketball shorts to breakfast anymore. She also invited Keaton and an older friend of hers from one of her charities, … Continue reading Christmas (last part) →

Christmas (part 2)

So – I realize I’ve gotten way behind on this – I was telling you about Christmas over at Joyce’s. (I’m writing this in a hurry, since I’ve got to get over for New Year’s Eve at Joyce’s before it becomes impossible to get across Colorado Blvd. because of tomorrow’s parade.) Joyce and I exchanged … Continue reading Christmas (part 2) →

Christmas (part 1)

So Christmas is here and gone, and so is my long day of initialing returns on the 26th. I don’t know why people buy so much stuff other people don’t want. People who say “oh, you can always return it” should think about the people in stores who take their returns. And it’s not just … Continue reading Christmas (part 1) →

Five Christmas Trees

This year is the second Christmas I’ve been away from home, and, if you think that I’m missing being with my family back in Tennessee…you'd be absolutely right. I know that plenty of people go home for the holiday, but, since I’ve got a job in retail and have to be in the store on … Continue reading Five Christmas Trees →

A Serious Matter

I try to keep my blog light and upbeat. But serious stuff does happen sometimes, like last Sunday. I know I usually break my longer stories into several posts, but this one is a little too important to do that with. So it’s going to be a lot longer than my usual blogs. I hope … Continue reading A Serious Matter →

The New Orleans Bowl

Y’all know that I went to Middle Tennessee State University, and put in four good years on their baseball team. Like in so many other colleges, baseball wasn’t the #1 sport. Not even close. That was football. I was a Blue Raider myself, and I went to my share of games at Floyd Stadium. Probably … Continue reading The New Orleans Bowl →

An Opportunity (last part)

So the parents of this dude I met at the bar where Keaton works called me over to their home in Pasadena to see if I was interested in being their younger son’s “baseball tutor” – from what I could make out, the kid was desperate to make the team at his school and they … Continue reading An Opportunity (last part) →

An Opportunity (part 1)

Ok, so y’all remember Carter? He’s the dude that Keaton saved from a fight a while ago, and who talked to me at the Volcano the night of that crazy 18 inning game in the World Series. When I met him that second time, he was all interested in how I’d been a ball player. … Continue reading An Opportunity (part 1) →
