Song of the Week: The Tallest Man on Earth is back with a whole new album. Stream it here!
The week began on Tuesday April 28th with a thrilling 6-5 overtime win to keep our winning streak alive. Afterwards Rachel made an amazing dinner of pasta, meats, and sauce. Yum. I stayed up late working on and finishing editing the NV lax game from the week before (posted in last weeks blog). It was also on this day that I received an email informing me of my denial from the Chicago Marathon for 2015. So to my dismay, I will not be running the marathon this year, as I did not get in. At least I don't have to start running a lot!
On Wednesday April 29th I got my oil changed, had 3 practices and then got some chipotle dinner with Rachel. Burrito bowl be tasty.
Thursday April 30th, I was supposed to have a game, but the other team chickened out, claiming their bus broke down and they couldn't drive the 15 minutes across town to play us. Why would they have a bus anyway? I stayed and caught a lovely sunset and filmed the varsity game. Little time to edit, so hopefully have that film done for next week some time. Made some mac n' cheese for dinner and called it a night.
On Friday May 1st, we had a little fun at practice, scrimmaging Beth's JV girls team. At the start of practice, one of my players brought me a McChicken, he will be starting on saturday. A stick swap and rule changes provided some quality laughs for both teams. The boys pulled off a 3-0 win, but the girls are looking for revenge next week! Afterwards I headed to Bartlett and picked up Rachel from the train station, then lead my 8 grade boys to an amazing victory over a team we had never beat! Rachel was sweet enough to be there and came to the after party afterwards. I can sum the party up by saying I got to meet 2 leopard geckos, named Rico & Sauve. Great team party!
On Saturday May 2nd, I headed back out to the burbs to coach my teams to 3 victories. The Cats stay undefeated getting win 12 and the foxes also got the W. That night, Rachel and I headed to Phil's place for May Fest where we enjoyed copious amounts of booze in a short amount of time with Brian, Megan, Chris, & Alyssa which lead to my ultimate goal for the night. Prost!
Woke up on Sunday to head back out to the burbs for some more games. Rachel and I enjoyed Wing Stop for dinner while watching the Movie Taxi Driver. Forgot how awesome that flick is. Also how old it is. 1976! Another Martin Scorsese masterpiece.
On Monday, after work and some practices, I watched Wet Hot American Summer. Classic late 90s early 2000s film. Watch it! Now read a great article about John McCauley and a folk movie coming out soon!
