My poor bairn......

At 12, hockey players can become refs. First step is an all day clinic with on and off-ice training. Hector said he wanted to do this (they earn good $$$ and get a better understanding of the game), so today he went to certification clinic.

He had planned to go to the local one next weekend, maybe with some of his buddies, but his coach scheduled a game that day and he cannot miss -being the goalie. So his coach volunteered to drive him to one in Detroit that he was also going to attend instead of the local one. We left at 6:30 this morning to meet up with coach and coach just dropped him back home (5pm). I managed to elicit that he'd passed, but he just went straight to the sofa and fell asleep (after being told bed was out of action -laundry day)

poor thing. What a way to spend Sunday. And yet he's getting himself a way to earn the money to buy the expensive toys/hockey gear he wants.
