5:45 and I was up and out for jogging. I met Karl out front and we did our laps and then headed over to the cafeteria for breakfast. As they were on their "short" schedule for the few of us who were still on campus, the team was there as well. We sat with the team. Most of them knew Karl so it wasn't too awkward.

It was going to be an all-day practice today so there were no plans made to do anything.

Even though it was a closed practice, coach did let Karl hang around if he wanted. We did two complete run-throughs before lunch, and coach once again had a party platter of subs from Tony's brought in.

We got back to it after lunch and Coach released us at about 4. Karl and I headed for the pool for a bit and then the whirlpool and showers.

"You going to eat with the team or what lover?"

"I think I should, but you certainly don't have to."

"Hey, I'm hanging with you as much as I can. What's on the agenda for tomorrow?"

"Nothing special. I suppose we could float some ideas to the team at supper."

"Yeah at least see if there is any interest in everybody getting together."

We made our way over to the cafeteria and sat down with the guys.

"So, who's up for what tomorrow and for that matter the rest of the time?"

"What are our options, Dennis?"

"Well, that I know of there's horseback riding, the laser tag out at the mall, and bowling. I imagine the golf course must have a driving range, and there's always a game of tag football or I'm sure we can get some baseball stuff from here at the rec center, or a basketball. Just so you all know this isn't an all-or-nothing deal. You can participate or not."

"I don't know Den, money is kinda tight end of the year."

"Dana, how did that end up?"

"Yeah, there was some money left over in the budget, so those that can pay and those that are having a hard time of it see me and I'll keep it confidential."

"Talk it over guys. You all know I'll be back in the dorm before 10 and plans can be made from there."

"What about transportation?"

"Well, I can take 3 or 4 guys, and if Karl takes his car that's another one. Who else has a car?"

Several hands went up.

"So it looks to me that there is enough for everybody."

We broke up after that and Karl and I went for our nightly walk.

"Think they'll go for it?"

"Only time will tell lover. Are the Castanzas still expecting us for supper tomorrow night?"

"As far as I know. Cam and Paul were still there this morning, but hell, they may have left for the summer by now."

We walked for a little longer than usual tonight and found ourselves out in front of Cochran Hall around 8. Dana and a few of the guys were hanging around out front.

"Hey Dana, what do the rules say about having visitors in the dorm?"

Dana had to think about that one.

"As far as I know, there's no rule against it, but I'm thinking the coach would take a dim view of it, especially overnight visitors."

Dana had just about read my mind on that one.

"I tired lover."

"It was a good idea Den. Guess we'll just have to take some time during the days."

"Regardless Den, they guys have pretty much decided they want to try the riding tomorrow."

"Fine by me. You all know that Karl and I jog every morning, so meet in the parking lot at about 9 and work from there?"

"Sounds like a plan to me."

"Rough clothes and preferably hard-soled shoes of some kind if you have them."

I walked Karl around to the parking lot and as there wasn't really anybody around, gave him his good night kiss.

"See you in the morning lover."

"Bright and early."

After I watched Karl drive away, I made my way inside and up to my room. It was reading until I got my text from Karl and then I crashed.

5:45 and my alarm went off and I was up and out to find Karl waiting on me. We had our laps, and again went in and had breakfast with the team. Karl had brought a change of clothes with him this morning, so we showered up and got dressed. At 9 we made our way down to the parking lot and just about everybody was there. We figured out the transportation and were soon on our way. There were enough of us there that they made a ride just for us. A couple of the guys looked like they were having second thoughts, so I took the time to lead by example and instead of mounting up went to the horse's head and let him get to know my scent.

We were soon enough off for a 2-hour ride. Everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves once they got used to the gait of the horses.

When we got back to the stables I noticed a couple of the guys stretching out.

"It might be a good idea if you guys hit the whirlpool when we get back to campus."

"That sure as hell sounds like a plan."

"OK, you guys are free to do what you want, but Karl and I usually stop at a little place for lunch on the way back. If anybody wants to switch cars, now's the time."

Everybody decided to hang with us and they all stopped for lunch. hen we got back into town, Karl and I dropped our riders and headed for the apartment.

We still had several hours before it would be time for supper, so we decided to make up for lost time, if you get my drift.

Once we had satisfied each other, we showered up and got ready to go down for dinner with the Castanzas. I had noticed when we pulled in that Paul's car was still here, so I fully expected the guys to be there for supper.

At 6 we headed downstairs and helped get the table set.

"So when are you guys heading out Paul?"

"In the morning. So no telling when we'll see you guys again."

"We'll be out to the stables at some point. You can count on that."

"So will you two young men still be here next weekend?"

"We shall be."

"Then you are expected for dinner even if these two aren't here."

"Unless something unforeseen comes up we'll be here Mrs Castanza."

Supper was soon over and the table cleared. I was headed back to campus for the night but not before Paul and Cam both hugged me.

"Good Luck with the all-state Den."

"Thanks, guys. We'll see you when we see you."

So it was back to campus and when I got upstairs to my room most of the team was in the dayroom watching the tube.

"Hey Dennis, What's in store for tomorrow?"

"Well, I suppose that depends on how stiff you guys are tonight?"

"There's no denying that some of us will be hurting tomorrow, even after hitting the whirlpool tonight."

"Well, I intended to take it easy and then work out Tuesday and Thursday and then the all-day on Saturday. Maybe hit the bowling alley tomorrow or Wednesday and the laser tag on Friday."

"So basically keeping active, but not wearing ourselves out?"

"Yeah, something like that."

At that point, Coach Warren came walking into the dorm with an overnight bag in hand.

"That can't be good."

"Alright, listen up gentlemen. I got a report of somebody sneaking out after bed check last night. I don't happen to believe it, and I'm going to pursue it. I have faith in you guys. Regardless, the powers that be want me or Coach Connors to be spending the nights here. Guys, I don't like it any more than you do, but that's the way it is going to be. I want your doors open at 9:55 so I can physically check. Try not to go wandering afterward."

"Guess we're getting to the meet early guys."

"That's one way to look at it, Jack. Now you've got a little over an hour to take care of anything that needs taking care of."

Coach moved into the room at the end of the hall, and the guys just started heading for their rooms.

Tonight I texted Karl first to let him know what was going on.

Well, that sucks. Love you to the end of time.

Love you more. See you in the AM.

At 9:55 I opened my door and then headed for my bed. Coach came down the hall not long after that and closed my door once he was satisfied I was in bed.

Monday morning and I was up and ready for Karl. I met up with him out front of Cochran Hall and we got our laps in uninterrupted. Breakfast was had with the team and Karl and I headed back to the apartment to just relax for the day.

"So any idea who it was trying to sneak out?"

"I didn't see anything, but how do we know it wasn't a "visitor" leaving?"

"Yeah, I suppose one of the guys could have snuck his girl in, not too likely though."

"And stupid to boot. I mean they had all day to be together if they wanted, well after the practice at least."

"Anyway lover, just kick back and relax while you can. Things will be getting hectic soon enough."
