  • Week 42: October 16–22, 1993
    Jedediah & Torrey wonder: if this week’s episode will be good or bad, what the D in D-Day stands for, and if Little Jed will dance with someone (Spoiler: he does!). 1993 brings us a slow dance interrupted, a very large sundial, The Good Son (Spoiler: he’s bad), Mortal Kombat, a drink with a booger in it, and a pair of letters declaring victory or defeat, depending on which pocket they were in.

  • Week 41: October 9–15, 1993
    Torrey tells 2 tales of mishearing embarrassment near-misses, then Jedediah leads a discussion into all the reasons a child might get 3 or 4 free games of pinball, followed by the ethics of “quarter things” and late fees. Meanwhile, in the diary, little Jed learns how to spell “throat” for once and for all, talks on the phone for a long time, hates school, does some exercises (???), and hopes he’ll dance with someone at the Homecoming Dance this weekend (!!!).

About The Jedediaries

From the publisher's feed

25 years ago, a 12-year-old boy kept a diary. He wrote in it every single day of the year 1993. This year – 2018 – that boy is a 37-year-old man, and he's going through that diary, week by week, to see how he's different, how he's the same, and what we can learn by figuring out who we used to be.
