no game but interesting day today

[Steve M]

Weathered out of a couple of games today - again. I've had a half dozen college indoor scrimmages but have had all of my games so far either snowed out or rained out. Some of next week's schedule is already canceled.

Since it's Saturday, a couple of umpire friends & I made a drive to the outlet store of the factory that makes plate shoes for some of the bigger names. They each found a pair but I didn't - guess my feet are a popular size. They got patent leather plate shoe blems for $55. It kind of shot the whole day, but we had a lot of fun.
