Daily Log of a Fresh-faced College GraduateJune 2, 2013 By now, everyone knows the flow. The cops – and everyone else – saw the vid. Twelve-million hits in three hours or something like that. Percy Nor is being hunted. Don-o gives them the list of twins he had memorized from when he went down into […]
Daily Log of a Fresh-faced College GraduateMay 31, 2013 “They suspect something fishy in the Spade thing,” I say to Don-o the next morning. I set my phone down and shovel a bit of taco omelet into my mouth. Don-o seems hurt but steeled. “Doesn’t surprise me.” I ask him what he means by that […]
Daily Log of a Fresh-faced College GraduateMay 30, 2013 It’s another long drive.

Daily Log of a Fresh-faced College GraduateMay 29, 2013 We get into Annie at about 5:30 a.m. and point her west. Yes, I said a.m. Yes, my brain hurts. Yes, yes, yes, it really, really sucks. But Canton is hosting the Bulldozers at 7:05 p.m. and we want to make sure we get there in […]

Daily Log of a Fresh-faced College GraduateMay 26, 2013 I think I lost ten pounds on the spot – all of it brown. “Get in the backseat,” Pat Riley said, coming out of the darkness with a gun of his own. For just that sliver of an instant, I actually had an image of doing […]
Daily Log of a Fresh-faced College GraduateMay 25, 2013 Last night is a frickin’ nightmare. Don-o is in this post-coital stage after watching the Hitmen beat the Trendies, and it takes me grabbing his arm and hauling his behind after me to get him out of his seat. The Dudes are coming, though. They walk […]
Daily Log of a Fresh-faced College GraduateMay 19, 2013 Don-o is curled up in the passenger seat, looking like the ghost child of Timothy Leary and Steve Howe. He’s got one of those hangovers that feels like an axe has split your head from crown all the way to the bottom of your spine. His […]
Daily Log of a Fresh-faced College GraduateMay 17, 2013 The next day, we take Mezzy and Belinda back to Lexington. It’s a short trip by our standards – only about three hours. I can tell Don-o is anxious, and I Belinda is ready to be home. The only person I can’t tell much about is […]
Daily Log of a Fresh-faced College GraduateMay 16, 2013 “What are you doing here?” I turn and ask as we all pile into Annie – guys in front, girls in back. “Graduation gift,” Belinda says. “My dad gave me a trip to Florida for getting through school,” Mezzy adds. “We’ve been here a week,” Belinda […]
