buon pomeriggio, coach

It's a little after 12:30 right now and I'm sitting her at my job, doing nothing...like always. It's pretty boring but it's easy and pays well. I'm helping some guy who works for my dad manage and inspect a $1.3 million dollar road project here in Fort Wayne. Anyway, soccer is going pretty well...I have a game tonight for a 6v6 team we started. Jeff Diebel, Chris Kiester and I make up the Wabash influence, and we have some guys who we played against in high school that now play for IPFW playing with us. One of my best buddies from high school, Blake Sharpe, who plays for University of Southern Florida is playing with us too. Also, on the weekends I play with the Saint Francis team, we usually have a game on saturday and/or sunday.

I haven't had any chance to play on that right wing that you so much envision me running, haha..pretty used to the center, those out of bound lines scare me somethin terrible.. I've been running around my addition after work and doing some lifting and lotsa ball work, but I haven't received a paycheck yet so I can't join the gym until Friday.

My sister and her husband had their baby, a little girl! That makes me: CRAZY UNCLE GREG. Ha, she's awesome, her name is Grace Rose-Marie Freimuth. She was 9 lbs and 9oz when she was born. My sister had to have a C-section since she was such a plumper. Well, last Christmas I bought the baby a small foam black n white soccer ball thinking it would be a boy and I could start him out real young. But, Grace still loves the ball mainly because it has the contrasting colors and baby's are interested in that kind of stuff. So I'm kind of hypnotizing her with the ball every chance I get.

Well, it's time for me to start doing some stuff out in the sun. I'll talk to you later, all the best over the summer. Keep in touch. Cya
