The Pack finally gets their first win against the Lions at Ford Field. It’s gonna be a long season, I fear. Trying to teach Catalina some English, I am writing out these simple dialogues in which I gripe about how crappy my team is this year. Poor kid is running the lavanderia totally solo while her mom is away. This kind of responsibility at 19, in a foreign country and with everything so up in the air. Can’t even imagine. We beg her to call us if we can help somehow- wish I could speak Italian better so as to convey how sincere we are about this.

September 2006 finishes out with some moody, rainy days. Fall’s gonna fall in, as I wrote in a song years ago.
