…where he considers the differences between real schizophrenic neighbors and those zany ones of the sitcom dimension. Also: my old high school now doubles as a police precinct, and a toast to Anne Heche, one-time Janet Leigh doppelganger, whose late 90s relationship with Ellen Degeneres exposed prejudices within my church, which eventually led to me leaving religion.

…wondering about where all the tapes of dads getting hit in the testacles with whiffle balls went after they were sent into Bob Saget in the late 80’s. Were they destroyed, or put in a warehouse somewhere, along with the Ark of the Covenant?Â

…talking about a trip he took to the beach with the church youth group in 1996, and how most of the time was spent not on the sand, but in the cold conference room of the Holiday Inn, praying and reading the bible. Yikes. He should’ve just skipped the preach and gone to the beach.
Also: I finished teaching summer camp this week; working alongside my students; teaching Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery†using dodgeball; the promise of the Internet in the 1990’s; remembering the show “227â€. Â
