Now that I’m vaccinated

First up, I haven’t told y’all yet that I’ve been vaccinated. Maya arranged for a nurse to come to the house and vaccinate everybody who wanted to be – that ended up being all of us, except the boys of course. So now me, Maya, Robert, Dr. Peterson, Sandy, Belen, Ethan and the crew have … Continue reading Now that I’m vaccinated →

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) →

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) →

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 →

November Rent

Although most things are going pretty well for Hashtag Baseball Boy here, I’ve got one very big problem: the rent. Y’all know that in September someone – I still don’t know who – paid it for me. That meant that I had money left over from September to help pay for October’s rent. This month … Continue reading November Rent →

Lucas Gets Ready for College

So Lucas is off to college in a couple weeks. He leaves for Denison University in Ohio on the 13th and his parents will move him into his dorm room the next day. That’s way earlier than they’d originally planned, but, well, y’all can guess that his freshman year is gonna get all fucked up … Continue reading Lucas Gets Ready for College →
