So I was telling y’all about my high school prom. The dancing and the ‘gambling’ went on until 2 AM, and we smoked the second joint before that. Now weed (as the stoners in school used to call it) does have one further effect on me: I get hit by the munchies pretty hard. I … Continue reading Prom (last part)

Prom (part 2)
I started telling you about my high school prom and got a little sidetracked writing about my prom date, Sunny Sue Carson. Our prom was in May, 2011, held at a hotel in Knoxville, and the theme was James Bond. There was one really good thing about that from the start: the guys didn’t have … Continue reading Prom (part 2)
Prom (part 1)
So I‘ve been thinking about what all else I could write about instead of COVID-19 and how it’s fucking up everyone’s life. Keaton’s been telling that all the complaining is totally gayass and Joyce and Meemaw both agree that the blog’s getting to be a downer…so it’s time to try and change topic. Besides, y’all … Continue reading Prom (part 1)
Maryville 2016 (part 2)

I’m talking about from between my last game in Hickory and when I moved to California, September 2016 to right after New Year’s 2017. … Continue reading Maryville 2016 (part 1)
Thanksgiving Back Home
Thanksgiving when your family is on the other side of the country just plain sucks. This year is my second Thanksgiving in LA, and I know it’s not going to be like a Block Thanksgiving. But I reckon that came with the choice I made in moving away from home. Since I need to be … Continue reading Thanksgiving Back Home
Block Burgers for the 4th of July
July 4th back home was always a big deal. I told y’all that Dad was in the army, so respect for our country was something we all grew up with. You put down your drink, put your ball cap over your heart and stood up straight when they sang the National Anthem before a Smokies … Continue reading Block Burgers for the 4th of July
Sumter Henderson and the Tennessee Smokies
I’ve been writing a lot about Joyce and the iPhone, and have been forgetting my priorities, which are (in order) baseball bros beer blog banging I’m still waiting on a better B word for chicks. Open to suggestions here. So I thought I’d get back to baseball. No, not another piece about the mess the … Continue reading Sumter Henderson and the Tennessee Smokies
