Update on Joyce

Ok…here’s something Mayor Garcetti doesn’t explain when he comes on the TV every day at 5:30. What do you do about your girlfriend when it comes to self-isolating and social distancing? Joyce lives alone in her house up in Altadena, and I’m not sure how often or even if I should see her. It’s easier … Continue reading Update on Joyce →

Update on my Pupils

I reckon y’all might be wondering how my baseball tutoring business is going in the midst of all the coronavirus craziness and stay at home orders. The answer is that it’s going. Not going strong, but it’s still going. All three of my pupils’ parents are paying me to come over and work with their … Continue reading Update on my Pupils →

The Truth Y’all Need to Know

Ok…so I understand now all what this coronavirus business is all about. I’ve been doing some research on the internet and I found this website that explains it all. It says it tells you what the government doesn’t want you to know about COVID-19…and that’s exactly what it does. We’ve all been lied to for … Continue reading The Truth Y’all Need to Know →

Keaton, Charlie and Charlie (last part)

Keaton was telling me a story about his time up in Fairbanks, how he’d gotten a job at a bar and spent some of his time taking care of Charlie, the 5 year old son of the bar’s owner, Trip. Keaton did all kinds of stuff with the kid while the weather was nice, but … Continue reading Keaton, Charlie and Charlie (last part) →

Keaton, Charlie and Charlie (part 1)

Me and Keaton were in his apartment with Wingstop and Stella Artois on what should have been the Dodgers’ Opening Day. We didn’t have a whole lot to do, so I got Keaton to agree to give me some of his backstory. So he said he’d tell me a story about little boys and puppies. … Continue reading Keaton, Charlie and Charlie (part 1) →

The Opening Day that Wasn’t

So me and Keaton were ‘celebrating’ what would have been Opening Day by watching what they had to show on the Dodgers Channel. It was some warmed-over interviews with the team from spring training…and it felt like they were mocking us. Although there were some interesting things (and we got to make fun of Mookie … Continue reading The Opening Day that Wasn’t →

Safer at Home

Like things weren’t bad enough, it all got even more weirdass and depressing last night, when the mayors of LA, Pasadena and Long Beach announced a ‘safer at home’ order – which basically is the same thing as the ‘shelter in place’ orders they’ve had all week up in San Francisco, only it sounds less … Continue reading Safer at Home →

The Axe Falls

Well…as Joyce has been saying, ‘the axe has fallen’. I got laid off from the L****** today, although Mr. Balsam apologized a dozen times about having to lay me off after he said it wouldn’t happen. He also made it very clear that I was just getting laid off and that my job would be … Continue reading The Axe Falls →

For St. Patrick’s Day

I’ve always loved St. Patrick’s Day, I reckon for a pretty obvious reason lol. We Blocks don’t think of ourselves as Irish, although, like many Southerners, we’re of ‘Scotch-Irish’ descent, so I reckon that makes me kinda Irish. Definitely Irish enough to celebrate on March 17th with a shitload of Guinness lol. Since this St. … Continue reading For St. Patrick’s Day →

A Super Weirdass Target Run

Ok, so today I went to Target to pick up a few things, but mostly to just see what was going on. Dang was it weird. Target’s usually a pretty noisy place: there’s always a kid screaming and plenty of people talking in the background. The reason I know this is because today it was … Continue reading A Super Weirdass Target Run →
