Back HOME
Last night, my wife and I came back home to Alabama for the Summer break. Some people say we are on vacation, but I say when you are going home it is not a vacation, it’s just going home. After spending 10 months in Belgium, I forgot how hot it is here. When we landed the pilot told us it was 95 Degrees (35 Celsius) and to top it off they turned the air off on our flight from Washington DC to Birmingham so we were melting into our seats. Today, not used to the time difference just yet, we got up at 8 a.m. , for me that never happens. We went to the local grocery store which stays open 24hours, we were in the store for 20 minutes and 18 minutes of that we were talking to people. That shows you how small of a town this is, feels great. The summer break is not a break for everything though, it means working out by myself to improve for next season. During the season it’s a two-hour a day practice and in the summer it becomes a 4-hour a day workout with weights, running, shooting and playing. I will take some breaks to take my wife shopping and spend time with my family, mostly playing cards.
