Even with all the fun we had at Disneyland on the day after my birthday, I still wasn’t done celebrating: there were still the guys to have dinner with, and, like we usually do, we went to Buca di Beppo. We didn’t get the table with the Pope’s head in the middle this time, but … Continue reading My 30th Birthday (last part)

Adam’s 27th Sobriety Party (part 1)
The weather’s cooled down for the past couple days – meaning it’s in the mid-80s – and the boys started back to school yesterday, so I reckon that means that the summer’s coming to an end already. Dang did it go by quickly, even with the sexual harassment thing hanging over my head. I know … Continue reading Adam’s 27th Sobriety Party (part 1)
The Parrots Return to the Field
The Parrots finally got to play softball again last night, for the first time since the lameass COVID lockdowns cancelled the Spring 2020 season. We did manage to get in one practice last week, and, although everyone was able to make it, man, were we rusty. I’ve been playing baseball with Los Cervezeros since the … Continue reading The Parrots Return to the Field
Moving Day for Travis
Travis’ last day at the ‘funny farm’ was Monday, and I’m pleased to report that we got him moved to his new apartment, where the IKEA furniture we put together last week was waiting for him. The move wasn’t too bad, but he did need help, since he really did have a ton of shit … Continue reading Moving Day for Travis
Assembling the IKEA Furniture
Me and Keaton went with Travis on Tuesday to IKEA to get him some furniture for the apartment next door to Keaton’s, which is where he’s gonna be moving next week when he finishes up the program in the place in El Monte where he’s been living and doing a great job of getting over … Continue reading Assembling the IKEA Furniture
A Visit to IKEA with Travis
So Travis took my and Keaton’s advice and he’s moving into the apartment next door to Keaton’s. Juan Diego wanted to paint and change the carpet and shit like that, so the apartment wasn’t going to be ready on the 1st like we thought. That worked out, since Travis still has a few days left … Continue reading A Visit to IKEA with Travis
Adam’s 26th Sobriety Anniversary Party
Adam’s sobriety party was at 8 on his anniversary date, the 23rd, so I didn’t get to stay with the boys the night of their first day of school. All the Parrots were able to make it, except for Dave, who moved to Las Vegas because this was no town to be a waiter during … Continue reading Adam’s 26th Sobriety Anniversary Party
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)
Super Bowl
I went over to Keaton’s for the Super Bowl. I was thinking of having him over to the pool house, since now I’m the one with the bigger TV, and watch it with him and Jacob (Matteo was telling everyone all week long that he wasn’t going to watch the Super Bowl), but I also … Continue reading Super Bowl
Adam’s 25th Sobriety Anniversary Party (last part)

I know…the idea of … Continue reading Adam’s 25th Sobriety Anniversary Party (last part)
