... communicating my room problems with them. I would recommend getting rosetta stone a few months ahead and at least learning the basics of german or italian, because not being able to communicate is brutal. Also, buy a surge protecter before you come! I haven't been able to find one here, although maybe that's just the language barrier again.


There was an orientation the day I arrived. This was very useful, not just for info but because it is a good opportunity to ...

... The open the door and sit down and begin to question this guy. I have my music playing so I was not really paying attention but I figure this guy has no documents with him. He appears to be fluent in German and wrote down his name, date of birth, phone number and maybe where he originated from. I could kind of hear them talking about some of the places this guy came from but I am not really sure what he did. They got off at the next ...

... missing Ciba on a crossing route, the next play I dropped back looked right for Piva on a slant, didn’t like it, came back left to Reggie on the swing, saw the linebackers chasing him, so I scrambled out left into space, split two guys at the 7 then ran through a defender at the goaline to score from ten yards out. Ciba stopped holding for some reason, so Andrea kicked and I held the PAT. Coach Wood said we have got to be the only team that rotates ...

... I had borrowed from Reggie’s collection. It’s a Spike Lee joint featuring a young Denzel Washington, I mean what more could you want.

Denzel plays an up and coming jazz musician who doesn’t exactly know what he wants in when it comes to his various love interests, but he does know his passion, his craft music is numero uno.

His love interests in the film are pressuring him to figure out what he wants, where things are going, and ...

... the best back in Italy.  So I changed the play, but Reggie ended up getting hit aftera yard or two and fumbled.  Anconarecovered and Tisma was irate with me. He was yelling and foaming at the mouth, telling me to run what hecalls.  There was a briefaltercation between us as I explained to him that a quarterback  sneak from the 5 was stupid.  If you want me to have the ball, let methrow it otherwise, lets give it to Reggie.  Of course he didn't want to hear that.

 

Our ...

... wildflowers are in full bloom and the air is so fresh compared to Venice! I love it here!
The interesting thing about this area is how much like Switzerland or Austria it is. The architecture, the food, even the language. I'm more than confused now!! Think I'll stick with English and see how far I get! The local dialect is very strong and the words are a mixture of Italian & German with a few of their own words thrown in ...

... br>At practice I had my receivers running off my new numbersystem of play calling which I have instituted for the purpose of easieraudibleing.  Most of our plays arenumbers anyway but I added various series of numbers to indicate different passplays.  I had Marco run a dig (post-in route) at the end of our route throwing session and told him the numberthat accorded with the route and play. As I walked past Tisma he solemnly said, I have the dig in my playbookit's 77, as if to show me ...

... that I regret those visits for one second because I don't.  I was thrilled that my sister made it out, and Mike got to play and stay with me for a couple games, but now they are gone and I must entertain myself in Bolzano - a beautiful but fairly docile place.  My Mother wrote me saying that she figured as much would happen.   The week has been very up and down in terms of my moods.  I'll work out at noon and feel good but then go back home and wonder how I should ...

... could, but he had no legs. The couple of times he tried to make hard cut backs, his legs failed him and he stumbled to the ground. His frustration was palpable. I just laughed knowing that this was not the real Mike Christensen and that in a week he would be a very different back. Finally Tisma ended practice and we headed back for a short nights sleep. Alex gave us a lift back home and then said he would pick us up at 5:15 and take us to the stadium the next day.

... turf (I roll my pants and knee pads above my knee because it looks better and gives freedom of movement but doesn't do much in the way of protecting the knee. Oh the things we do for the sake of vanity.), and my groin was tweaked. Kicking in warm-ups it felt very tight, and I tried to get it loose but to no avail. Giants 14 Firebats 0. We mounted one more solid drive before half but Andrea our defensive coordinator, who had suited up and kicked last ...
