Hey Fellas,
I ain't dead...Just got Mild! I'm in my 6th year of teaching at Bradley-Bourbonnais High School..9th year of teaching after all those years of not figuring out what the hell to do. Sierra and I are both still in the same house in Bourbonnais that Kenny J and Queebs visited a few years back. Matthew is living in Aurora/Naperville (can't figure out where one stops and the other starts)...He's across the street from what used to be called Fox Valley Mall.
I've been coaching girls b-ball (rather unsucessfully, I must add) and boys golf. Things are a bit more promising on that front. Of course, all I really need to do there is make sure they get on the bus and fill out score cards. After that, I just ride around on a cart drinking Diet Pepsi! I'm a Special Ed. Resource teacher. This year I collaborate in Algebra I and Junior English classes, teach a SPED US History class, and have a couple of hours of Resource where I help kids with whatever subject matter they need help with! Pretty sweet gig. I'm not getting rich, but I'm making the world such a better place.
I haven't been in contact with anyone from WIU, except for Stoney Al. Remeber him? He calls from time to time and came her to visit last summer. The guy probably weighs about 300 lbs now! He still works at the Pentagon. I think he's DEEP undercover for some serious al Qaeda ass-kicking shit! ;-)
Anyway, I've become very mild. I think I've had one beer in the last 18 months. The summer before last was the last time I got shit-faced, and I think I'm still a bit hungover from that. I used to harken back on the good old times with fondness. Now those thoughts make me queasy.
The highlight of this past month was the BEAT DOWN the Bears took in the big game! My year would have been miserable if the Bears had won...You Bears fans are such assholes about winning! It took about 10 years for you guys to be "bearable" after the '85 season. GO PACKERS!!!
Mild "ex-Wild" Bill

Knowing Stoney Al is going after Bin Laden makes me sleep more soundly at night. I have no doubt we'll find him any day now.
I've got you beat on being on the wagon. I haven't had a drink since October 2003...and I miss it every day. Actually, it's not quite that bad, but I do miss it.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, the doctor said something in passing about drinking raising my risk for a reoccurrence of the cancer. It was a throw away line, but Kim picked up on it and asked me not to drink any more. If you would have seen what she went through when I was sick, you'd understand why I don't drink any more (although I resent her terribly for it).
I've thought about you and Sierra often. I remember a while back Sierra had some heart problems. What ever happened with that? I hope she's doing okay.
Man, it's good to hear from you. Glad to have you on the blog.
Sierra's doing well. She's always had the goofy heart rythym thing. The Dr.s could never figure it out. Doctors...They're clueless! ;-) Hell, I even know one that smoke cigars all the time! I don't miss the booze at all. I let age do all the impairing for me now!
Actually from my perspective, Knowing Stoney Al is at the pentagon really makes me want to look at property in Sweden or someplace but I guess there isn't much I can do. Nice to hear from you Mr. Breeden, although I can't believe you let your misguided choice of football teams tarnish our reunion!!! :) But I guess that's OK, you guys can keep your 90 year old QB and miss out on the playoffs for a few more years... I wonder if it is hard to get your hip pads over the Depends?? Glad to hear you are keeping an eye on the youth of America What level of b ball are you coaching with the girls?? Have you ( or anyone ) ever heard anything from Bird?? Glad to hear the familly is well...
Depends!? Grossman better bring in a stock of them the way he pisses himself anytime there's a semblance of a pass rush against him!
I have been the Varsity assistant the past three seasons. The previous three I coached the sophs. I've grown tired of being the assistant. I miss coaching games. Actually, I've grown tired of it period. I may have coached my last season.
