Boxing with El Tigre

Joyce has been looking over the blog and said that y’all may be wondering how I can eat like I do (especially the ice cream) and still look good enough in board shorts for a major artist to start sketching me. Part of the answer is that I’ve always been able to eat a lot … Continue reading Boxing with El Tigre →

The Return of Monica (last part)

So me and Joyce ran into Monica and her psychiatrist fiance in a trendy sushi place last week. I can handle an ex-girlfriend meeting a current girlfriend, but I was nervous that Monica would reveal that I was dating both Monica and Joyce at the same time for a few months last year. Lucky she … Continue reading The Return of Monica (last part) →

The Return of Monica (part 1)

Ok, so I basically don’t like sushi. It’s not that it grosses me out or anything (a dude who likes deviled kidneys with breakfast isn’t gonna be grossed out by raw fish lol); I just think it’s pretty boringass. It’s a piece of fish with white rice. Woo hoo. You can spend eighty bucks at … Continue reading The Return of Monica (part 1) →

Maryville 2016 (part 2)

In the fall of 2016, after the season was over in Hickory, I went back home for a few really shitty months. I had to adjust to the fact that I wasn’t going to be a pro ball player; I did it by being an asshole. I got a job at the Gap in Knoxville, … Continue reading Maryville 2016 (part 2) →

Maryville 2016 (part 1)

Since I’ve started telling y’all about some of the less great periods in my life, I thought I could write something about another of those times that seriously sucked for me. I’m talking about from between my last game in Hickory and when I moved to California, September 2016 to right after New Year’s 2017. … Continue reading Maryville 2016 (part 1) →

Sitting for Sabrina

So I’ve been sitting for Sabrina for a couple weeks now, and I think she’s finally arrived at a pose for the picture. So far she’s spent her time doing what she calls “preliminary sketches” of me in all kinds of positions. She’s sketched me standing, sitting, shirt on, shirt off, ball cap on, ball … Continue reading Sitting for Sabrina →

Update: Joyce

There’s also news from up at Joyce’s place. She and Allan finally agreed on designs for the redecorating, so there are now workmen in the house every day. They’re starting off with the living room and den. I think the dining room and kitchen come next, then the bedroom and Joyce’s bathroom. She’s leaving the … Continue reading Update: Joyce →

Me and Shoshanah (last part)

My first girlfriend was Shoshanah Rabinowitz. We started going out in the fall of junior year in high school, even though she was Jewish and I’m not. Her parents weren’t thrilled, although they were ok about it for a while. But by the time senior year started and we were still serious about each other, … Continue reading Me and Shoshanah (last part) →

Update: Luke

I saw Luke earlier this week. He was down in LA and said he wanted to meet me for a quick dinner before driving back to Santa Barbara. He said he didn’t have a whole lot of time, so I suggested we go to the taco truck on Fair Oaks. Turns out Luke likes taco … Continue reading Update: Luke →

Me and Shoshanah (part 1)

Meemaw’s been reading through my blog. She’s cool enough not to have said anything about me using the word “fuckin” as much as I do, but she did notice something. Nothing bad ever seems to happen to me, at least not since I broke up with Monica or the Dodgers lost the World Series. Don’t … Continue reading Me and Shoshanah (part 1) →
