... my mom when THE TRAIN STARTED MOVING.

Screaming at my mom at the top of my lungs, I sprinted after the car with my bags and leapt through the door at the last moment. I was now seperated from my mom in a foreign country with no cell phones and no ticket for the train! Luckily a couple guys my age helped me. At the next stop I got off and luckily my mom had met some really nice Texans and their Italian relative who explained our plight to the conductor, so we were quickly re ...

... off of them. Looking at all the hills around, this might be a great city to go hiking in! On another trip I will have to try and spend a couple of days here, for it looks to be a very busy and interesting place to visit!

I am not sure what it is with me and trains on this trip! I was in a nice room with a couple of guys, who got off at one of the many stops and then who comes in??? The Austrian police with some guy they are dealing ...

... explained to the Italian waiter that I wanted a birre in the mug on the wall. And then I instructed him to put it on Tisma’s tab. Fifteen minutes later the waiter came out with the mug full of delicious Hefewizen all the way up to the 3-liter mark near the top of the glass. I took a sip then walked around passing it to all my teammates who knocked out 2/3’s or so before I took over myself. Back at Tisma’s table I told him I wanted to go to ...

... of my Madden 2003 career, I quickly came tumbling down the other side when Beppe and I played one last time. Shaun Alexander coughed the ball up twice, and I couldn’t stop Beppe’s ‘brilliant’ game play of non-stop deep balls to Torry Holt.

Tuesday

The next two days were pretty slow, I woke up late, watched, a number of movies, got a few few solid workouts, but generally slow days. Italian’s were on holiday for the ...

... trying to pick which son he lovesmore.  But in the end, Drubo usedto be a receiver when he was in his 20's and this was about the only chance I'dever have to throw a ball to Drubo. Cloche played fullback and slot so he'd get the ball thrown to him onoccasion.  I flipped the ball toDrubo who hugged it between the two fives on his jersey for a successful twopoint conversion.

 

But then flags hit the ground.  55 isn't an eligible number.  So we were penalized and just ended ...

... pounding does not do much to lift your spirits. However every search must come to an end and we were very lucky. The place we chose could not be more perfect. In the small village of Penia the Inn was friendly, good food, quiet and the owner spoke Engish!! He gave us a few ideas should the weather change ... and change it did. We woke the next morning to brilliant sun. After breakfast we headed straight to a gondola ride at Pas ...

... mother who hadcalled and texted numerous times during the evening, and various other reasons,I didn't want this to even get to a good night kiss.  It may sound a bit mean, but not everyone vibes, and I justdidn't feel a strong attraction. Not that she isn't nice and pretty and intelligent but she's just not agirl for me.  I wasn't trying tolead her on, but sometimes its much easier to just play along then have to say,"Listen..." and hurt some feelings.

 

I thought I ...

... on the ground after a ball is one of my favorite pastimes.  We tried to run Reggie left for the two-point conversion but he was stopped short.  That put us up 40-21.  RE scored again before we could run out the clock.  I believe the final was 40-28.  I finished with five passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown.  Crazy.  With the win we secured the number one spot in the playoffs, which means we host the first round game in Bolzano and wait to see who the number four seed ends up being.

... in America we'd call it the second) were informed that there was no exhibits on that floor and left the museum slightly embarrassed for our (read my) Autze gaff. We rode back home and a few minutes later Juiliana our outside linebacker/ bus driver came to pick me up and take me to whatever car I was driving 3.5 hours to Milan's Malpensa airport to get Mike. We stopped outside a café, and went in and had a café while we waited for his friend to bring us ...

... of our other corner. Other than that though the locker room was fairly subdued. Diego's (our stud right tackle and defensive lineman) brother came in to the locker room and gave me a bottle of champagne. It was very nice and I thanked him for it. It would have tasted fantastic had we won, but I couldn't bring myself to open it in defeat. Reflecting on the game, guys took it in stride saying better now then in June. I am proud personally that we battled ...
