Thanksgiving 2022 (part 3)

This year at Thanksgiving at Adam and Allan’s I was sitting between Ethan (Adam asked me if I was cool with that at the game on Tuesday…he said he figured I might be since I take care of children) and Esteban – so that was kind of the sports part of the table. Mrs. LaSalle … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2022 (part 3) →

Thanksgiving 2022 (part 2)

I was pretty sore from the turkey bowl by the time I got home, and knew I was gonna be sorer in the morning. That, I suspected, was my first taste of what being 30 feels like lol. I took a long hot shower and sat down in the living room to watch a little … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2022 (part 2) →

Thanksgiving 2022 (part 1)

As though didn’t have enough to eat over my three days of birthday celebration, the day after I got together with the guys at Buca di Beppo for meatballs and getting shit about turning 30 was Thanksgiving. No...it’s not like I passed out in a meatball coma and woke up two weeks later. Just like … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2022 (part 1) →

My 30th Birthday (last part)

Even with all the fun we had at Disneyland on the day after my birthday, I still wasn’t done celebrating: there were still the guys to have dinner with, and, like we usually do, we went to Buca di Beppo. We didn’t get the table with the Pope’s head in the middle this time, but … Continue reading My 30th Birthday (last part) →

My 30th Birthday (part 2)

The next thing I knew it was morning, and the boys came running into the bedroom followed by Ethan and the cameraman. “Happy Birthday, Hunter!,” the boys said. They looked very excited. “Whoa…my birthday was yesterday.” This was how I expected them to act on my birthday, but it wasn’t what I got the morning … Continue reading My 30th Birthday (part 2) →

My 30th Birthday (part 1)

The first thing I have to write about my 30th birthday is a disclaimer that Jacob and Matteo’s school gives the kids a week’s vacation the week of Veteran’s Day. It’s not all in observance of Veteran’s Day (honestly, I think the school could make a bigger deal out of the holiday, but, then, Dad … Continue reading My 30th Birthday (part 1) →

The Halloween Party

With COVID pretty much behind us (yeah, Maya already brought in someone to give us all the booster to the booster to the booster shot), we got to have a Halloween party this year. When I say “we”, I mean the boys, which means that we had about 20 kids, half of them from Matteo’s … Continue reading The Halloween Party →

The Dodgers Choke

So the Dodgers blew it. Again. How many years does this make? And all we have to show for it is that 2020 World Series that, when I look back on it, really wasn’t the same thing as winning it all after a normal season. Yeah, I’ll still say that winning in 2020 was a … Continue reading The Dodgers Choke →

Hunter Gets Harassed (last (!) part)

“Still, this case is unusual,” Mr. Blanchard continued after he’d heard both sides of the story, “in that we also have a complaint of sexual harassment on the part of a good-looking young man, and I have to admit that, in all the years I’ve been adjudicating sexual harassment cases for this network, I’ve never … Continue reading Hunter Gets Harassed (last (!) part) →

Hunter Gets Harassed (part 9)

After we got to the network’s office building for the hearing into the sexual harassment complaint that was hanging over my head like a Sword of Damocles, they sent someone to meet us in the lobby. She took us upstairs to an empty conference room. I was lucky to have a lot of people on … Continue reading Hunter Gets Harassed (part 9) →
