Training wasn't supposed to start until January 2015, although I knew they were hoping to get Aaron and a couple of the other boys out on the field before the bad weather started. Unfortunately that didn't work out as we went on vacation and some of the other boys were not available. The coaches decided they wanted the catchers and infields to start in November but the very first practice had to be cancelled due to bad weather and a couple boys not being available.
Tonight they finally made it out to the gym...and guess who had to drive him to Mississauga! So much for - 'don't worry, I am changing my shift and I will take him'! I can't complain too much because Andy wasn't feeling well and they asked him to go in to work earlier. The school where the practice was being held was just a block away from a mall, so I dropped him off and went there to kill some time. However, the mall closed at 9:00 p.m. so I was forced to go back and watch the practice for half hour.
The weather tonight wasn't very bad...just a bit of blowing snow and the drive was no more that half hour, each way.
