Hello Foresters.
I noticed it has been an obscenely long time since I posted on the blog and I can't say this one is going to be especially scintillating. I simply wanted to post a goodbye. At least for now.
For those of you who haven't heard, my wife just graduated from her surgical residency program in Chicago and was offered a one year surgical fellowship at University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska. We moved here two weeks ago and although I can't exactly say its starting to feel like home, it is beginning to sink in that we are not simply taking an extended vacation to the Heartland. This is our life. So life in Chicago goes on without us, at least for this year.
I cannot say what will happen to the blog and the @lfcfutbol twitter account but I hope they stay somewhat active in my absence.
I brought my Lake Forest wardrobe to Omaha with me and I plan on wearing the "Wear in the hell is Grinnell" t-shirt before your matchup with the Pioneers. I will catch what games I can online and cheer loudly/mutter incessantly under my breath from our living room instead of my "office" down the sideline near the water cooler. I will think of you whenever order a Pumpkin Spice latte or chew a stick of gum before a run. And when the autumn air turns crisp and the supermarket shelves are stocked with freshly picked apples, my thoughts will turn to you and a little sadness will creep into my heart. I have loved almost every minute of my years with the Foresters and I miss being a part of college soccer in the Midwest already. Hope to see you all very soon.
