Misc.

I just won my first playoff game since high school. That was about almost eight years ago. While we won a conference championship in college, we were ineligable for post season action because we were in a five year probationary period for moving up form division II to IAA. (I never understood the punishment for moving up, but the NCAA has some issues.)
We beat the Weinheim Longhorns 30-13 in front of our home fans in Berlin. It felt good and this week we have a tough test with a good Marburg team.
I have been pretty invested in football and my creative outlet has been lots and lots of guitar. Thank you Marty Schwartz on youtube. I have not written much, and the vast majority of it has been devoted to writing letters back home to seemingly long-lost friends.
My mom sent me the first issue of Powder Magazine. I read all of the Shane McConkey tribute first. I knew of him, but never the entire story. So thanks Shane for your contributions to the sport and for the fat skies that will carry me this winter.
I will miss Berlin. It has been a fun and unique place with some cool people.
I hope to extend my football career again this Sunday.
Be Well, Jon
