A lot of his friends now had an Amazon Ring. Or some other type of home security system. He really ought to have one of those. It was the 21st century after all. Why wouldn't you have one of those? During Christmas he had watched the first  Home Alone movie,...

Fat Dan

One thing Kenny excelled at besides football, wrestling, and weightlifting was pitting me and Dan against each other. I laugh lighthearted at his tactics now after all these years but back then I craved Ken's approval wherever I could snatch it. 

Even before I lived with them Ken constantly made fun...

Our very own Monday Night RAW pt 2

Dan was about an inch taller, but much larger. By this time, which was around 8th grade, I think he was around 200 pounds. Thankfully for me, he wasn't muscular like Kenny otherwise I wouldn't stand a chance.

Dan was also shirtlesg. Instead of blue jeans he wore basketball shorts. I...

Our very own Monday Night RAW pt 1

My first Monday at Dan's house was all about wrestling. Not just watching RAW on TV. Not just incessantly chatting all day about what who would win and who would get their asses kicked on RAW when it finally did happen. But also literally wrestling.

The bedroom that Kenny, Dan, and...

The Feeling of Forever as reply to Beginning

A programming package used for Adagia gives the developer a sagacious quote written as a comment any time they generate a new component.

The other day's quote was

Close your eyes and count from zero to one. That is how long forever feels like

I actually did this. Closed my eyes and counted...

Monday Night RAW

I had already liked pro wrestling -- aka 'fake' wrestling -- before moving in with Dan. If I were by a TV when it was on I'd get excited and watch. But wrestling had never been a thing I planned my schedule around. Mainly because my family rarely had cable....

Crash

I can't remember how Noah and my mom and dad got to the airport. Who drove them? It's reasonable to think that Dan's mom drove us to the airport so that I could say goodbye from there. Reasonable to imagine my final goodbye was a teerful hug with my mom...

1st Lesson from living with the Shooks'

I still remember the first lesson I learned when I got to the Shooks'.

It wasn't that late, but it felt dark. Must've been overcast or something. The whole family was in the dining room. I heard Dan's mom jovial and high pitched, "Abe's here!" Then I heard Kenny's booming...

"I heard you and Shook are gonna live together?"


"So you and Shook are gonna be roommates?" 


The questions I so embarrassingly anticipated finally came. I was especially scared to hear it from the most popular kids in our grade. I thought they would stop talking to me, but in fact nobody...

The cool, strong, stoner, stud

When recalling my first visits to Dan's house, his older brother Kenny comes more vividly than Dan himself. 

The first thing I thought about Ken was that he seemed so big. He looked so strong, walked around like he owned the place, and swore basically every sentence. On our bus rides...

No Jab. Big Hook

The only friend I felt comfortable asking was Dan.  He was also the one who I felt the most shame to ask. 

Dan had been my first friend after moving to this new place called Middleville couple years back in 5th grade. But after I decided that I wanted to become...
