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
Summer’s Here!
Since y’all probably know me pretty well by this point, you won’t be surprised to learn that my favorite season is summer. The solstice was on June 20th already , so now my favorite season’s officially here. I’m not as excited as I used to get about it back when I was a kid, but, … Continue reading Summer’s Here!
The Bars Close Again
I’ve told y’all that I didn’t think Keaton was going to give up his part-time job with Amazon when the bars opened up and he could get his old job at the Volcano back. He didn’t. And it’s a good thing, too. He, Miguel and Dani were all in their usual positions when the Volcano … Continue reading The Bars Close Again
Fathers Day 2020
It’s somehow gotten to be Fathers Day again. I’ve lost all track of time: can y’all believe that the whole craziness with the toilet paper was 3 months ago already? But here we are, one day past the first day of summer. Since it’s Fathers Day, I’m going to write some more about Dad. One … Continue reading Fathers Day 2020
Reopening Updates (last part)
I've been giving y'all news of everyone now that the quarantine is ending. Where the Parrots are concerned, everyone working from home is still working from home, Sloppy Joe’s grandfather in the nursing home is still doing ok, and, as of this week, Dave’s back to work as a waiter. He’s super glad about that. … Continue reading Reopening Updates (last part)
