We celebrated the reopening of the state by having a day in the park, me, Lucas and the boys. It wasn’t just any day in the park, though…me and Lucas were also playing Lucas’ first game with Chuy’s team, Los Cervezeros. The team’s 2nd baseman moved away to Texas, since he couldn’t stand the lockdowns … Continue reading A Day in the Park (part 1)

Reopening and the Boys
I just told y’all that Cody’s playing little league (he’s killing it, too.) Y’all might be wondering why it is that Jacob isn’t. The answer is Maya, who’s still being super careful about the boys. I’m not sure what she’s waiting for, but I reckon it seemed a little too soon to get Jacob involved … Continue reading Reopening and the Boys
Baseball Pupils Update
It’s been a while since I told you anything about my other pupils. Well…my other pupil. I stopped working with Noah a few months ago. His heart just wasn’t in it, and there’s no sense in spending money on a baseball tutor for your kid when your kid doesn’t care that much about playing ball. … Continue reading Baseball Pupils Update

So I was in Target on Sunday with the boys. They both got gift cards for Jacob’s birthday last week (they didn’t want Matteo to feel totally left out for his brother’s birthday, so they got him something too, which is kinda cool), and I got to take them to the store so they could … Continue reading May 23, 2021
The Infield Goes Out (last part)
It was about 1:30 the night the Volcano reopened after COVID, not too long before last call, when a nice chill evening got less chill, and for once the trouble didn’t have anything to do with Carter. But there was a disturbance at the far end of the patio from where we were sitting, and … Continue reading The Infield Goes Out (last part)
The Infield Goes Out (part 2)
When we got to Old Town following dinner, the vibe was pretty dang weird. I didn’t know if there was gonna be a whole bunch of people and lines to get into the bars, or whether the place would be deserted still from people used to the lockdown. It was more the second. We could … Continue reading The Infield Goes Out (part 2)
The Infield Goes Out (part 1)
Most of the Parrots were finally able to get together last Saturday night, and, by ‘together’ I mean together in the same room. Two rooms, in fact: first we had dinner at Mi Casita, then we headed to Old Town for the grand reopening of the Volcano. (Keaton explained that they could have opened as … Continue reading The Infield Goes Out (part 1)
Now that I’m vaccinated
First up, I haven’t told y’all yet that I’ve been vaccinated. Maya arranged for a nurse to come to the house and vaccinate everybody who wanted to be – that ended up being all of us, except the boys of course. So now me, Maya, Robert, Dr. Peterson, Sandy, Belen, Ethan and the crew have … Continue reading Now that I’m vaccinated
Travis’ Hit and Run (last part)
There was a spot for Keaton’s truck right in front of the address he got for the dude who hit Travis' parked car, and, sure enough, parked in the driveway was a Toyota minus its front bumper. The house had a low gate around the front yard, but Keaton hopped it. I followed. Travis hung … Continue reading Travis’ Hit and Run (last part)
Travis’ Hit and Run (part 1)
Me and Travis text pretty regularly, and I’d like to get him up to see the pool house and meet the boys, but I haven’t seen him since he turned up on my doorstep in the middle of the night last October. Keaton was off Monday morning, so we decided to celebrate National Mental … Continue reading Travis’ Hit and Run (part 1)
