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
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
Lucas Makes It! (last part)
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)
