Keaton’s 32nd Birthday

So y’all may remember how Keaton gave me all that shit for telling other people my birthday was coming up back in November. (Just a reminder: my birthday’s November 8th lol.) It’s almost as though Keaton thinks it’s gay to have a birthday at all, which is kinda lameass since everyone’s got one. Even Keaton. … Continue reading Keaton’s 32nd Birthday →

A Trip to the Batting Cage (last part)

If I'm going to be a good baseball tutor to the high school kid I was hired to tutor in baseball, we're going to need a batting cage to practice his hitting in. My student Lucas knew of one down in Alhambra, which turned out to be a combination batting cage/car wash run by a … Continue reading A Trip to the Batting Cage (last part) →

A Trip to the Batting Cage (part 1)

Obviously the most important thing for my baseball pupil Lucas to work on is his hitting. Fielding was always one of my favorite things, and I'm looking forward to playing catch with Lucas so we can both dive for balls, but the thing that’s going to count most at team tryouts is hitting. Unless his … Continue reading A Trip to the Batting Cage (part 1) →

My Baseball Pupil (last part)

I know it may not look like you have to be a great athlete to play ball – we stand around a lot while soccer players never stop running around until their weirdass clock counts all the way up – but baseball takes a lot of athleticism. We have to be able to do four … Continue reading My Baseball Pupil (last part) →

My Baseball Pupil (part 1)

I’ve spent so much time telling y’all about my pretty cool holidays that I haven’t told you the next part about my being hired as a “baseball tutor” to a kid in Pasadena who wants to make the team at his high school. His parents, who know me through their older son Carter, who hangs … Continue reading My Baseball Pupil (part 1) →

New Year’s Eve with Joyce (last part)

I spent New Year’s Eve at Joyce’s, just the two of us. She had me put on a tuxedo (“you look like a young James Bond”), she was in an evening gown, and we had a couple bottles of sparking cider to celebrate. Neither of us likes champagne, and sparkling cider tastes great. Instead of … Continue reading New Year’s Eve with Joyce (last part) →

New Year’s Eve with Joyce (part 1)

New Year’s Eve in Pasadena can be tricky. Y’all have probably seen all those people camping out overnight to see the Rose Parade. What you might not realize is that the parade route goes straight through the middle of the city: Colorado Blvd. is our main street, and all those people camping out make getting … Continue reading New Year’s Eve with Joyce (part 1) →
