I did want to leave a note that totally agrees with Jody and her earlier comments posted about the bittersweetness of leaving tour and going back to the "Real World". Just coming off tour and getting back into the working routine is no where nearly as rewarding as working for the Colts membership and staff.
The parents I worked with on the Cook Truck last week made for a tremendous team, and I feel lucky to be a small part of that. It truly was a great time getting to know them ---weellllll except for the threat of being designated a Peach Pit for a day..... sometimes we really get punchy out there ----On the positive side we really did have time for fun, inspite of the heat and the travel distances we covered.
PS ....... If you run into Carole or Debbie -- you have to ask them about the "locking a set of keys in the van" episode in Connersville. That is worth a laugh each time you hear the story.
Most impressive though was the courtesy of the members and staff who went out of their way to say thanks for the smallest effort extended. They would make it a point of seeking us out to say they appreciate the work involved in preparing the meals, running to Home Depot for a replacement part to whatever broke, fixing a damaged shelf, getting uniform parts or locating misplaced items. There is nothing better than hearing that comment at the end of the day --- along with watching the final run-through of after a day of practice.
Thank you Colts - and see you in Foxborough for a Final's appearance
