Arrivederci, Ascoli. Buongiorno Sochi!!

Ascoli, you've been nice, but it's time for me to head to Sochi.

After my retirement from soccer, I thought I would never touch the sport again.  My golden days in the Classic League were long behind me.  I kicked, I scratched, I pushed, and I probably cried a bit.  So when some of our Italian friends invited us to play soccer, I was understandably apprehensive.  But I toughened up, laced up my gym shoes, and got back in the game.  We all knew the beautiful game would find me again.  

I transcended back to my days in the good old black and gold.  It's almost embarrassing for me to play, because I really don't like making other people cry when I make so many goals.  Part of the reason for my retirement.  The Italians kept saying "Perché non vai a Sochi?!?!?!" But I'm too chill for Sochi.  Not my style.  I have to leave the game behind me now.

After a fun day of soccer, it's time to unwind with some Kinder gelato and vino bianco. 

Ciao,

Maria Rosa
