Lucas made the team and he got that starting spot at 2nd that we’ve been working towards for a year now. A bunch of us are excited for him, including all of Chuy’s family. They invited us to join them for a birthday party for Abel (in case y’all forgot who’s related to who, Abel … Continue reading Lucas Makes It! (last part)

Lucas Makes It! (part 1)
Lucas ate a hot fudge sundae last night. And Alicia and I made sure he ate every last bite. In other words, he made the baseball team and he's going to be the starter at 2nd base this year. He promised me he’d eat something good to celebrate instead of those nonfat yogurt and beet … Continue reading Lucas Makes It! (part 1)
A New Baseball Pupil (last part)
Noah Clarke is a 9th grader whose father wants me to tutor him the way I’ve been working with Lucas and Cody. I had a game of catch with Noah a few days ago and I’m afraid I wasn’t impressed. It’s not that the kid had no skills and was a total klutz (like Shoshanah … Continue reading A New Baseball Pupil (last part)
A New Baseball Pupil (part 1)
It’s not one of Meemaw’s sayings, but it’s still a saying: when it rains, it pours. No sooner did I get hired to work at the L****** than my phone rang. I mean I was literally still waiting for the hotel valet to bring me the shitbox when it rang. I told whoever it was … Continue reading A New Baseball Pupil (part 1)
Lucas Update: January, 2020
Although I’ve started working with Cody, that doesn’t mean that I’ve stopped coaching Lucas. Mrs. Andrews has me working with him twice a week sometimes, since team tryouts are coming up and Lucas is determined to be the starter at 2nd. I’ve been working him hard, but, truth be told, his game’s in dang good … Continue reading Lucas Update: January, 2020
Working with Cody
I met an 8 year old named Cody at Thanksgiving dinner over at Adam and Allan’s. He’s baseball crazy and was looking forward to playing catch with a real-live baseball player before dinner, but, unfortunately, our game got rained out. I went over to his house the following week, played a good game of catch … Continue reading Working with Cody
Catch with Cody
On Thanksgiving day, when me and Joyce were over at Adam and Allan’s for dinner, we met a family of ‘two mommies’ and their 8 year old boy, Cody. Cody’s moms, Daphne and Simone were nice (not like the scaryass lesbian Adam and Allan had to Thanksgiving dinner last year), and it was hard not … Continue reading Catch with Cody
Thanksgiving 2019 (last part)
Me and Joyce had a great Thanksgiving dinner at Adam and Allan’s. Among the guests was one of those families with ‘two mommies’, Daphne and Simone, and their 8 year old kid, Cody, who is totally baseball crazy. I promised I’d go over to play catch with Cody one day soon, but Joyce had other … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2019 (last part)
Thanksgiving 2019 (part 3)
Me and Joyce were invited to Adam and Allan’s for Thanksgiving again. This year the food was a lot more normal than it was last year, and I think I wasn’t the only one who appreciated that. The guests were more normal too. Adam’s sister Leslie and her family came, but they were totally different … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2019 (part 3)
Thanksgiving 2019 (part 2)
So, this Thanksgiving, following a super fun turkey bowl, me and Joyce were invited to Adam and Allan’s again for dinner. We got invited up to Santa Barbara to spend the night at Justen and Luke’s, and I’m sure Thanksgiving dinner there must be incredible, but I needed to be in the store for Black … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2019 (part 2)
