I was a little late for the boys’ breakfast on my first morning in the Bedrossian bubble when I got to the kitchen at 8:30. Jacob told me that him and Matteo got up at 8, but I reckon it takes less time for an 11 year old and a 9 year old to get … Continue reading The Bubble: Day 2 (part 2)

The Bubble: Day 2 (part 1)
I’ve been so busy since the bubble started at the Sharpman house that I haven’t had a chance to write about it. I started a post about my first full day – that was Tuesday the 1st of December – and I’m only getting ready to put it up now, more than two weeks later. … Continue reading The Bubble: Day 2 (part 1)
The Bubble: Day 1 (part 2)
After moving into the pool house and supervising the boys in their daily activities, I showered, had a beer, lay down for a few minutes, then got into fresh shorts and a tshirt and headed over to the house for dinner. I still don’t know my way around fully. I mean, I knew how to … Continue reading The Bubble: Day 1 (part 2)
The Bubble: Day 1 (part 1)
I was getting settled into the pool house to start my time as part of the Bedrossian bubble when Jacob came through the sliding glass doors that open onto the pool deck. “I just came to see if it was true…that you really are moving in.” “It’s only temporary, cowboy,” I said. “Only until Christmas.” … Continue reading The Bubble: Day 1 (part 1)
I Move into the Pool House
After Dr. Peterson tested positive for COVID, Maya decided to set up a bubble in the house until the worst of the COVID spike we’re having in California is over, and I was brought in to take care of the boys while their tutor was sick. Sandy, Ethan and a reduced film crew were moving … Continue reading I Move into the Pool House
Dr. Peterson Tests Positive
While I was compiling my cast of characters a lot of shit has happened real fast, so I’m gonna try and catch y’all up on it. Maya has all of us tested for COVID every two weeks. She’s worried about the boys (of course), she’s worried about her mother (who’s getting up there in years), … Continue reading Dr. Peterson Tests Positive
Thanksgiving At Home with Maya
It may seem pretty dang weirdass, but I’ve already had Thanksgiving dinner this year. And a week ago Monday. The Sharpmans did it that way so that the Thanksgiving show would be ready to air tonight, the night before Thanksgiving. Me and Keaton are going up to Joyce’s tomorrow, but, for the time being, I’ve … Continue reading Thanksgiving At Home with Maya
The Dirt Interview
So today was the big day: the day I became an on-camera reporter for At Home with Maya. If I knew it was going to get this complicated, I might not have suggested that we build a 2-base base path behind the pool house so I could teach Jacob to slide and so he could … Continue reading The Dirt Interview
The Backyard Base Path (part 2)
When Jacob asked me if I could teach him to slide, I thought of an idea I had for my baseball resort: a base path with a base at one end and a home plate at the other so people could practice sliding and baserunning without taking up a whole diamond. I typed up a … Continue reading The Backyard Base Path (part 2)
The Backyard Base Path (part 1)
If some of y’all missed last week’s show, it showed me and Jacob working outside on baseball skills. Matteo’s segment was about diet and nutrition and how to live on 850 calories a day, and he lost another pound at his weigh-in. There was also a nice Veteran’s Day segment about Maya’s brother, who’s a … Continue reading The Backyard Base Path (part 1)
