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) →

Lucas Leaves for College

So the big day has come and Lucas has left for college in Ohio. It’s been reminding me of when I left home for Murfreesboro, but there was a big difference there. Getting to Middle Tennessee State from Maryville is a 3 hour drive, and I was able to jam everything I was going to … Continue reading Lucas Leaves for College →

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! →

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 →
