Keaton Weighs In

“She’s got a thing for you,” Keaton said, after I’d told him about Sandy’s virtual shopping spree over a couple Stone IPAs. “What makes you say that?” “Partly because she spent a thousand of her employer’s bucks on buying you fuckin Dodgers shit…and partly because of what you say she says about you. You may … Continue reading Keaton Weighs In →

I Get a Wardrobe

The day I first got filmed for Maya Bedrossian’s reality show, I got called into her assistant Sandy’s office. First we talked about some legal stuff I had to sign…then she totally changed the subject: “Now,” she said, “time to take you on a shopping spree.” Her eyes kinda sparkled there…I guessed because that’s how … Continue reading I Get a Wardrobe →

I Get Filmed

I reckon the start of my third week working for Maya Bedrossian showed that they were thinking of me as a regular part of the boy’s lives already: I got filmed for At Home with Maya for the first time. It wasn’t for very long, though. They filmed me for about 15 minutes, first working … Continue reading I Get Filmed →

Bedrossians: Week 2

So this is the end of Week 2 of working with Maya Bedrossian’s two sons, Jacob and Matteo. We seem to have gotten off to a good start, as Maya’s personal assistant Sandy promoted me to 3 days a week after only 2 days on the job last week. That’s a definite positive development. Like … Continue reading Bedrossians: Week 2 →

The Dodgers Clinch

So the Dodgers have clinched, and they’re the first team to have clinched in this weirdass 60-game series with cardboard cutouts in the stands. That shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s following the team (or who read what I last wrote about them.) I just hope we haven’t clinched too soon since clinching … Continue reading The Dodgers Clinch →

Update: Cody and Noah

So I was looking through the blog and seeing who I may have forgotten to write about lately, and I realized that it’s been quite some time since I told y’all anything about my other baseball pupils, Cody and Noah. I guess I got caught up in writing about Lucas since he’s become more a … Continue reading Update: Cody and Noah →

September Rent/A New Pair of Clients (last part)

I was over at Maya Bedossian’s – it’s a mansion, not a house – in San Marino last Friday afternoon to meet her two boys. It was a mutual tryout to see if I could work for Maya (as everyone apparently calls her) as part of my baseball tutoring business. I was talking to the … Continue reading September Rent/A New Pair of Clients (last part) →

September Rent/A New Pair of Clients (part 3)

After my interview with Maya Bedossian’s assistant for a job working with her two young boys, I went over to Keaton’s. I had a lot to tell him…and I needed to ask him if he was the person who mysteriously paid my rent for the month of September. “Why the fuck would I do that, … Continue reading September Rent/A New Pair of Clients (part 3) →

September Rent/A New Pair of Clients (part 2)

I was on the phone with Meemaw last week, trying to figure out the answer to the mystery of how my rent got paid, when I started getting a call from a number I didn’t recognize. I took the call and a woman’s voice said: “Good morning…may I speak to Hunter Block, please?” “Speaking,” I … Continue reading September Rent/A New Pair of Clients (part 2) →

September Rent/A Pair of New Clients (part 1)

Ok, so I know Meemaw always says that complaining about the heat doesn’t make it one degree cooler…but…fuck was it hot this weekend. Even for someone who likes running around and getting sweaty, it was ridiculous on Saturday and Sunday. I was scheduled to see both Cody and Noah over the weekend…and had to cancel … Continue reading September Rent/A Pair of New Clients (part 1) →
