Joyce really liked the idea of me getting dressed up as a witch – not a wizard, like Matteo is getting to be, a witch in a dress and pointy hat – for Halloween. “And they’re really giving you green makeup?” “I don’t know for sure,” I said. “I haven’t talked to the makeup man…woman…person…” … Continue reading Halloween 2021 (part 2)

Halloween 2021 (part 1)
Halloween (or, as Miss Jensen in 7th grade English always told us to spell it, Hallowe’en) was pretty fun growing up. We’d all get costumes on (can anyone guess what my go-to costume was as a kid lol?) and go trick or treating – we lived in a neighborhood with enough kids to make it … Continue reading Halloween 2021 (part 1)
Back to School
So the first day of school is here, and, yes, Matteo’s going back. If he turns out to have trouble, they can always bring him back home and get him another tutor. That’s Maya’s reasoning, and, although I don’t get a vote (like Joyce has said a million times), I think it’s the right decision. … Continue reading Back to School
July 4th, 2021 (last part)
That conversation basically got us to Alhambra and Chuy’s house, which was in full celebration mode. The President, if y’all remember, said that maybe we could have little get togethers for the 4th of July if we all got vaccinated. That was bullshit. Maybe it was a small get together at Maya’s (although we went … Continue reading July 4th, 2021 (last part)
July 4th, 2021 (part 3)
We celebrated July 4th this year with a cookout at the Sharpmans where the main dish was Hunton burgers. Me and Keaton put the burgers together earlier in the afternoon, before the guests arrived, so there really wasn’t all that much to do in the kitchen later in the afternoon, except separate the boys from … Continue reading July 4th, 2021 (part 3)
July 4th 2021 (part 2)
We had a cookout with Hunton burgers this past July 4. Maya invited a bunch of people over, including one kid, who was destined to be my problem, since I was taking care of the kids while the adults did their thing. Since Keaton was there too, I reckoned I wasn't going to really have … Continue reading July 4th 2021 (part 2)
July 4th 2021 (part 1)
I got to have a Block Burger this year for the 4th of July. Well…strictly speaking it wasn’t a Block Burger. It was a Hunton Burger like me, Keaton and Joyce invented last summer, which uses Keaton’s chili recipe in place of Dad’s. Not only did I get to eat one: I got to make … Continue reading July 4th 2021 (part 1)
A Day in the Park (last part)
I took the boys on Saturday to watch me and Lucas play ball with Chuy’s team, Los Cervezeros…and have a day out in the park. Meanwhile, the kids got a soccer game going; Jacob joined in, and took a bad slip and fall in the grass that dislocated his shoulder. Lucky for everyone, one of … Continue reading A Day in the Park (last part)
We Decide to Sue
I know I’ve been kinda bad about keeping the blog up to date, but there’s a lot that’s been happening, and things were pretty tense here after that chick’s filthy book came out that made all those wild accusations about Maya, Robert…and me. Last I told you about that, me, Maya and Robert were going … Continue reading We Decide to Sue
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
