the hits just keep on coming

It’s been rather some time since I’ve written anything, so I’m not altogether certain anyone’s checking in anymore. That’s OK, though. On our final road trip of the season – to Cologne – we actually have internet in our hotel, a first for our away games.

After we arrived this afternoon, I went to check out the Cologne Cathedral. It was fairly amazing. We walked a narrow, winding staircase nearly to the top of one of the steeples. Cologne doesn’t have much of a skyline, but it was a nice view of the Rhein River.

Earlier this week back in Berlin, I finally made it to the Reichstag and went up into the glass cupola. That was brilliant. I can’t believe I almost left without going up there.

We play our final road game here tomorrow. The following Saturday will be the last game of the season for us. After that, I’ll work the week leading up to the championship game.

I’m certainly ready for the season to come to a close. It’s been a good experience, but the grind is catching up with me. Since I arrived in Tampa on February 8 or so, I’ve had all of three days off. And I thought the two days off a month I had in Cleveland was bad…

I am starting to get a bit restless to get home, but also know that I have another month yet here and about half of that will be vacation. I obviously want to make the most of the chance I’ve got to see some amazing things, so I’ll try to hold the homesickness at bay for awhile longer.

Of course, I still have no idea what exactly I’m going to be doing when I get back home. Hopefully I’ll find some outlet where I can be a productive member of our wonderful society.
