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) →

A Year with COVID

It’s been exactly a year since they – the mayors and the governor – put out the “safer at home” order that locked down Los Angeles County due to the pandemic. And man have things changed. Hard to believe that, a year ago, I was working in a hotel and just getting the hang of … Continue reading A Year with COVID →

Jacob’s Meltdown (last part)

Following Jacob’s meltdown at breakfast and my talk with him afterwards, me and the boys spent the afternoon like any Monday afternoon since I started coming over, except I didn’t look at my watch. Me and Jacob had a great time figuring out the pitching machine, and Matteo’s even stopped asking when our time together … Continue reading Jacob’s Meltdown (last part) →

Jacob’s Meltdown (part 2)

Jacob had a meltdown while we were having breakfast Monday morning. He broke his plate against the table and went running from the room. And it kind of became my job to go after him. I caught up with him in his room – which he was in the act of trashing. He already pulled … Continue reading Jacob’s Meltdown (part 2) →

Jacob’s Meltdown (part 1)

So no sooner have I moved into the pool house permanently than we got hit by some major drama around the Sharpman house. If I’d told you that one of the boys had a meltdown, y’all’d probably have guessed that, what with the diet and all, it’d be Matteo, right? Then you’d be wrong. Maybe … Continue reading Jacob’s Meltdown (part 1) →

Life in the Bubble

So y’all are probably wondering how things have been going in the Bedrossian bubble. You may have seen some of what’s been happening on the show last Wednesday (with everything so chaotic, they ran a repeat from last year the week before that), and everything’s pretty much going alright. I’ve just been super busy and … Continue reading Life in the Bubble →

The Bubble: Day 2 (last part)

So I’ve been telling y’all about my first full day in the Bedrossian bubble. After getting through the morning being a schoolteacher for the first time in my life, we broke for lunch. I sent the boys down to the kitchen to eat while I went to look for Sandy in her office. Lunch, Jacob … Continue reading The Bubble: Day 2 (last part) →

The Bubble: Day 2 (part 2)

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) →
