Lucas Gets Ready for College

So Lucas is off to college in a couple weeks. He leaves for Denison University in Ohio on the 13th and his parents will move him into his dorm room the next day. That’s way earlier than they’d originally planned, but, well, y’all can guess that his freshman year is gonna get all fucked up … Continue reading Lucas Gets Ready for College →

The Rest of Opening Weekend

So baseball season got off to a good start on Thursday when the Dodgers beat the Giants 8-1. Friday night’s game showed us that Muncy can still be a monster when it comes to hitting balls out of the park (did y’all see that totally gangsterass catch one of the cutouts made on the second … Continue reading The Rest of Opening Weekend →

Dodgers Opening Night (at last!)

Baseball’s back. Well…kinda. The Dodgers played the opening game of their 60-game 2020 season last night, and beat some serious Giants butt 8-1. Kiké Hernández was on fuckin fire, and went 4 for 5 including a homer and 5 RBIs. Seager doubled and scored twice. Dustin May did a good job on the mound, jumping … Continue reading Dodgers Opening Night (at last!) →

Block Burgers at Joyce’s

So on Tuesday, me and Keaton went up to Joyce’s to make Block Burgers after I fucked up making steaks on the new grill Joyce got last week. Dad emailed me the recipe for the chili that’s supposed to go inside Block Burgers, but there was no way I was gonna be able to make … Continue reading Block Burgers at Joyce’s →

National Ice Cream Day

Y’all may have guessed it, but July 19 is a major day in my universe: It’s National Ice Cream Day. President Reagan signed National Ice Cream Day into law in 1984, long before I was born, but, once I had that first taste of ice cream when I was 2 and I said “more!”, my … Continue reading National Ice Cream Day →

Grilling Steaks for Joyce

Joyce has bought us a grill. She says that it gets very hot in the kitchen in the summer, and that it’s shaping up to be a very hot summer here in the San Gabriel Valley. She’s definitely right about that: we had a heatwave last week with temperatures pushing 100°, and we’re in for … Continue reading Grilling Steaks for Joyce →

Getting Back to Normal with Joyce

I reckon it’s time I wrote something about Joyce again. She hasn’t been getting covered too much in the blog lately. That’s partly because she’s not doing too much…and it’s starting to get on her nerves. She’s been in her house and going out almost not at all since she’s very worried about COVID-19. She … Continue reading Getting Back to Normal with Joyce →

Fireworks for July 4th

It looked like this July 4th was going to be a downer…but mine turned out to be a lot of fun after all. No, I didn’t go to any prohibited big gatherings, but I did get to see a shitload of fireworks. And I’m not kidding when I say shitload. Remember how I told y’all … Continue reading Fireworks for July 4th →
