... of storage space! Compared to my lovely room in the dungeons of Uhall last year, this room seems like paradise. It even has a private washroom, and mine is almost as big as the spacious room itself! Unfortunately, the shower doesn't have a door and is level with the bathroom floor, meaning my bathroom floods whenever I shower. This is not typical, so I wonder if I had come earlier if I would have got a better room? Also, my room fronts on to a noisy road with bars all around. It is ...

... why the name has both an Italian and a German spelling. This is a very quaint town that looks to be fairly old with small winding pedestrian only streets. Street signs are here are written in Italian and German, and a vast amount of people walking around are speaking German. I took some pictures and got myself a quick bite to eat. I have seen a lot of people walking around carrying backpacks with hiking boots and trekking poles ...

... just stop – BASTAaaaahhhh!” I got on the table, yelled at everyone to listen up and led a chant that Grant Schroff and I ripped off from the UW when they were good and used at MHS, that in the G-rated version goes, “say who, say what, say who says Giants ain’t bad - err -‘sons of guns’…” Christina was in there capturing everything with her camera and got some great photos. We were in there forever and it was as ...

... 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 ...

... of our team probably felt.  Ancona was fighting for their playofflives while we had nothing to play for. That being said, I wasn't going to lose this game.  Ancona scored again, #28 abused oursecondary and it was 14-0.

 

Offensively we responded, and I looked right for Piva on aslant when I saw middle high free safety try to read my eyes and flow thatway.  So I came back left andbanged a slant into Mario's chest who caught it and out ran the corner to theendzone for a 37 ...

... we headed west taking a pass from Canazei through to Bolzano. Ouur home for the night is in Tassulo in the south of Valle Di Non. You can see the alps in the distance. The valley is agricultural with thousands of fruit orchards and vineyards. We did a little sight seeing and walked up to the ancient sanctuary of San Romedio. Tomorrow we heaad off west again towards Lake Como. Not sure what we will see there... perhaps the odd celebrity!?

... people were waiting for a green person to appear to signal to themthat it was indeed their time to cross the street.  One person in particular, a 40-50 year old woman, noticed merunning toward the group when I was about 30 feet away and mean mugged me untilI stopped a few feet behind her. She didn't take her eyes off me, sitting turned completely around on herbike, her eyes boring holes into my uncovered upper torso.  And she wouldn't look away, but justassailed me this outraged look on ...

Wednesday 22nd I met Beppe and Ciba to throw at noon as instructed by Tisma because I was to pick up Mike the next night while everyone else would be practicing. Lauren wowed the Italians with her ability to throw the football then retreated to read her book while Ciba and I ran around in the noon sun shirtless. Beppe in contrast had every piece of gear on from his helmet down to his thigh pads. It was a good session and then we made plans to head to the lake ...

... play (We don't really have backups per se so when Reggie goes down, people get shifted into roles they sort of know but haven't really practice. So Edwin would ask Le Le what to do at full back and Le Le would sometimes ask me what he was doing on the play at running back). Edwin hit the hole for five yards, got hit then carried tacklers down to the three. The next play I called a fake full back dive, quarterback sweep. I was stuffed but a flag got thrown ...

... a customer translate then flipped the pages to the men's section. I picked a style, pointed, then looked up to see Chiba, Christina, and Cookie outside. Christina came in and translated a few specific requests and promised to be back in an hour if I wanted to come up when for a bit after the hair cut. The Allessandra faded the sides, then the back and left the top long. Then she pulled our scissors with teeth and started chopping away at the top, it made ...
