R to L: Breakfast with Coach Wyland, roomates Will and Lando
True story:
it was around 2am at Charles DeGaulle Airport in Paris, France, October 2005; and I got my butt grabbed by an airport employee... 3 times.
I shared the story in the van with my newly found teammates, but I forgot to mention that the security officer who patted me down in the Zagreb Airport the morning prior got a little friendly with my kiester while going through security. A few days before that, I was at the main square watching a RedBull BMX racing event, and got patted down for the first time. At first I thought it was a pickpocket looking for wallets. But after "meeting" the Croatian security officer at the airport, I thought, "Maybe it was a cultural thing." Well... I have my own presuppositions about France, and was not interested in that type of 2cultural" experience in the least.
My soon to be roomate spoke up in the van at the Stuttgart airport shortly before training camp a couple weeks ago and said, "We gone call u Cheeks!" And that was it... few know or remember Juice, but everyone on Team USA v Munich knows who Cheeks is.
Thanks Will...
