In my ongoing effort to not write about ‘the virus’, I’ve been trying to think of something else I could tell y’all about. I’ve got a couple ideas, but I thought the one I’d go ahead with first is something I’ve seen often enough in my life: baseball dads. I’ve known quite a few…although the … Continue reading Baseball Dads
Month: May 2020
May 23, 2020
Today’s May 23, the day I usually run into the dude who wrote that great bitcoin blog a couple years ago. I first met him at Disneyland with Keaton. May 23 is his birthday, and there was a Mexican family singing him the Mexican Birthday Song while we were waiting for the fireworks to start. … Continue reading May 23, 2020
Mental Health Awareness Month
I’m talking to Travis a lot on the phone. We had a good talk yesterday, and one of the things he told me was that May is Mental Health Awareness Month. They’re apparently making a big thing out of it in the place he’s at. Travis says it’s mostly ok there, his roommate’s ok, the … Continue reading Mental Health Awareness Month
Prom (last part)
So I was telling y’all about my high school prom. The dancing and the ‘gambling’ went on until 2 AM, and we smoked the second joint before that. Now weed (as the stoners in school used to call it) does have one further effect on me: I get hit by the munchies pretty hard. I … Continue reading Prom (last part)
Prom (part 2)
I started telling you about my high school prom and got a little sidetracked writing about my prom date, Sunny Sue Carson. Our prom was in May, 2011, held at a hotel in Knoxville, and the theme was James Bond. There was one really good thing about that from the start: the guys didn’t have … Continue reading Prom (part 2)
Prom (part 1)
So I‘ve been thinking about what all else I could write about instead of COVID-19 and how it’s fucking up everyone’s life. Keaton’s been telling that all the complaining is totally gayass and Joyce and Meemaw both agree that the blog’s getting to be a downer…so it’s time to try and change topic. Besides, y’all … Continue reading Prom (part 1)
Covid Updates (last part)
I was updating y’all on how my friends are handling the quarantine. I covered my family back home, Sloppy Joe, Josh, David, Dave and Travis in my last post. Who all does that leave? Trey, for one. He’s doing good, considering. He was the one who thought online classes were bullshit at first, but now … Continue reading Covid Updates (last part)
Covid Updates (part 1)
I reckon I’ve been writing about myself a lot lately, so much so that Keaton won’t stop telling me that the blog has gotten totally gayass. Ok, fine, maybe I have been writing about myself…but, when you’re locked up all day without much anywhere to go, you start thinking about yourself more than you do … Continue reading Covid Updates (part 1)
