I was only the head coach for one game, LOL. The team that won state cups I didn't coach, we turned the team over to the college coaches. The budget for that team ran from $16,000 to $24,000 per year to be split by 16 girls. It sounds expensive but D was being trained by college coaches as an eight grader on. Almost every year they had sponsor money that covered all the cost. One year they turned sponsor money away. The very first game D played for this team she played against her old team she used to play goalie for. The coach would never giver playing time on the field. That game she scored the game winning goal. I ran into her old coach later he asked if D was playing. He asked what team he was shocked when I told him the team and wanted to know if she played in the game against them. I told him yes, he wanted to know which position she played. My W said the one that scored the goal.
Yep, I shaved it off tonight, if W asks why I shaved it off I'm going to say somebody wanted to see what I would look like without a beard. I just won't tell her it was me. I kind of like it, it's been years since I've had a clean face. Coach said I need to change my appearance, I guess this is drastic enough. I think I'll see if my aunt/big sister wants to see a movie tomorrow night. I'll make sure it's a chick flick. W will really think I'm dating. Last Friday after seeing her at D's house and saying I'm going to meet someone for a couple of drinks, she drove past the house at 5:30 Am on her way to work. She didn't see my car, I had parked it elsewhere in the neighborhood. She asked my best friend if I was dating someone, and told him she looked for my car and didn't see it in front of the house, LOL. He told her he didn't know he hadn't talked to me in a couple of weeks. Told him to tell her I just said it was a friend. Besides she wants a D, does she expect me to stay at home crying?
Maybe I'll get up early and sit in my car and see if W drives by again, not going anywhere tonight I think.
Grid, don't give up, he seemed to be reconnecting earlier. He will poke his head out and go back into the tunnel. It's a roller coaster ride, hang on.
