I finished my first glass and was waiting for her to finish going for next. I was about to grab it and she suggested to take a shower and directed me ...o the room upstairs. To my surprise the bed room was arranged like a honeymoon cottage with flowers in the bed and I went to the bath and started to shower, hardly 5 minutes, I heard a door knock and she was in her bath robe and slipped it in the floor and came in. Wow, that was one best moment. We both were under the shower naked. I ran my hand. Our little group ended up being seven of us. And we started sipping cold ones and talking smack, there was the normal Ford verses Chevrolet debate. I’m a Chevy guy so I joined in and soon we where loud and carrying on like men do. About half way through the race my wife came home, she walked in the den to ask me to come in the kitchen to talk. The guys being a tad loose from the brews made little comments about how she was dressed. My wife being a big show off loved the attention. She acted. I will tell mum what you are doing.” Karen said “thanks dad; I’m sorry that I’m later than I thought. The owner of the hotel gave us all a drink, to say thank you for all our hard work this year.”When we got home Karen quickly went to freshen up, while I helped Susan get the dinner ready. After we had the meal, we all opened our presents. Susan was pleased with the lingerie selection I got her. She got me a de-odorant, aftershave and razor gift box. Karen was really impressed with the gift that. It was the same hotel I stayed at three years earlier when I was being recruited by USC. After dinner we had a general team meeting and then broke out into position meetings to prepare for our biggest test so far in the season.The coaches were merciful on Saturday morning. The team's breakfast was scheduled for 9:00 am. We reviewed the game plan and studied to prepare for our late afternoon contest. We had lunch at the hotel before the buses took us over to the Coliseum.--oooOooo--The weather.
