why I’ll miss Blake
by D.O.
For those of you who either aren’t paying attention or who have memory issues, let me remind you that the people around me, nearly all of them, are finding their way into engagements and marriages.
One of the folks who is in the engagement boat is Blake Cooley, my roommate for another few weeks. He’s engaged to Colby’s sister. They got engaged the same week Colby and Mack got engaged. Precious, right? Yeah, it is.
Blake is the source of much hilarity in this house. You may recall the “secret admirer note” he received on his car at Wal-Mart one day. Though he didn’t do anything directly to make that particular funny event happen, there have been several things he has done to make me laugh, and I’ll just share two with you briefly.
1. Blake loves baseball. He goes to Rangers games by himself on a regular basis. He watches the gamecast (not sure if they actually call it that, but it seems fitting) on texasrangers.com. He can tell you all kinds of stuff about baseball that, if you’re me, you don’t really want to hear.
The other day Blake came home from the grocery store with this gem:
Major League Baseball Homerun Apple Body Wash. Amazing.
2. Blake has a computer. His computer’s wireless abilities recently pooped out on him (for the second time). He resorted to filling out the necessary paperwork and sending it off to be fixed. One of the required fields on said paperwork is “Operating System Login Password”. Blake, in order to ensure that there was absolutely no confusion on HP’s end as to what his login password was, wrote this in (and out of) the blank:
Do yourself a favor and click that. You deserve the laugh that will doubtless follow.
So Blake, thanks for being so hilarious. You’ve now twice given me something to write about when I thought I was out of ideas. I’ll miss you, sport. Go Rangers! Hurray for baseball!

hilarious. thanks for stepping in or at least leaning into the bathtub to take that shot. also, does blake make fun of your blue shirt as much as you make fun of his baseball fanaticism?
oh man i just laughed way too loud about blake’s password-that’s hilarious, but i would do the same thing, i think. good one blake and thanks for sharing d.o.
had i looked closer i would have noticed you didn’t lean into the shower. my apologies. not as funny anymore.

2. i never thought i’d hear/see you utter/type the phrase “hurray for baseball!”
