….wish the US would stop with the cardiac arrest performances. Happy that we’re not playing Germany on Saturday for Kevin’s sake. Had a ‘meeting at the client’s office’ today during the game and it was pretty exciting at the sports establishment when Landon finally scored…..
Not much to report on the internet-stalking front; Kevin has a down day today in Wiesbaden before a performance tomorrow evening and a midnight departure for France.
But….that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a non-Kevin-news-day, far from it. First was the email from Calbe with the pictures from his host family….every time I look at that I’m still amazed by how nice it was for them to make that for him (and us!). Second was a shocking phone call from Kevin himself.
Suzanne decided to work from home today, that way she could watch the US-Algeria match and also patiently await the arrival of our new Iphones. So, that’s coincidence #1. Suzanne never, never, answers the phone if she doesn’t recognize the number, but, after one call from the ‘unknown’ number decided on call #2, in the middle of making breakfast for Fric and Frac, to pick up the phone. Coincidence #2! “Hi Mom, it’s Kevin”
After the obvious question (“Are you ok, everything is all right?”) it is simply that his host family offered him the chance to call home and he took it. Suzanne reports that not much new ground was covered on the brief call….highlights that I can remember are
- hasn’t spent much money at all; hasn’t tried his ATM card like we asked him to (try it before you really need it….). Suzanne asked him again to make an effort to do this.
- food seems to be going ok “there’s lots of sandwiches”.
- he was going to visit a castle today
- Unlike other blue lakers who had a partner with host families, he was by himself and wasn’t sure if this would change on the trip.
And that was about it. Happily, Kevin asked to speak with Fric and Frac, so, he earns brownie points for that and the boys were excited to hear from him.
