We thought that 1 hour and 20 minutes was a long practice, but 2 hours a 20 minutes straight? freaking insane.
Bet the kids slept well that night....

Tomorrow 3 games but we don't start till 11. Will post some pics, but I need a telescopic lens. Can't get any great photos.

Had my first ever **** talking parent incident. Micah and a couple of the boys are pretty good skaters and will often pull spinoramas to get around kids. This mom from Stockton ( known for its crime and violence) starts chirping apparently after her son got skinned that the boy should take up figure skating. I responded "wow mom of the year chirping a 7 year old for being a good skater." I also reminded her they were little kids and she may want to settle down. She did not appear happy with my comments, but did shut down the trash talking. Who the hell trash talks little kids? Worst of all she trash talked a kid for having great skating skill. Wasn't my kid, but it was frustrating to see.
Busy 2 days, Mike..... How are the kids doing? Unfortunately, at this point, nothing....and I mean nothing, coming out of parents mouths at youth sporting events surprises me anymore....
