Taking Travis to a Dodger Game (last part)

Last Sunday was the last home game for the Dodgers, and me and Keaton took Travis to cheer him up and get him outside and in the sunshine after the time he spent in the hospital following his suicide attempt.

So me and Keaton were able to make good on our plan to take Travis to a Dodger game after he got out of the hospital.

Mean Girls (last part)

The meanest of the mean girls at Maryville High when I was there was named Ashleigh Renfroe. She could be vicious, and one of her main targets was my girlfriend Shoshanah.

Mean Girls (part 2)

So I was telling y’all about Maryville High’s #1 mean girl, Ashleigh Renfroe. She was a typical mean girl from what I’ve heard other people say about mean girls at their schools. In a lot of ways she could have stepped out of the movie. I know I’m a dude, and so I wasn’t the … Continue reading Mean Girls (part 2) →

Mean Girls (part 1)

I’m not sure how Joyce ended up with the DVD of Mean Girls, but she suggested we watch it one night last week. I think someone told her it would give her insight into what it was like when I was in high school, although the movie came out in 2004 and I graduated in … Continue reading Mean Girls (part 1) →

Guys Night Out with Meatballs (part 1)

The Saturday morning after me and Keaton visited Travis in the hospital (that was September 7) I got a call from Josh, the Parrots’ captain, asking if I wanted to have a guys night out with him and his buddy Dylan that night. Dylan’s Travis’ older brother; I got to know him this summer when … Continue reading Guys Night Out with Meatballs (part 1) →

A Different Kind of Hospital Visit

I’ve told y’all a little bit about the Parrots’ leftfielder, Travis. He’s the younger brother of our captain Josh’s best friend Dylan, born and bred in San Marino, a very wealthy community just south of Pasadena. He’s 22…and, to all our surprise and shock, he tried to kill himself over Labor Day weekend. He said … Continue reading A Different Kind of Hospital Visit →
