On Saturdays, Texas Speed Team practices at Playland Skate Center at 8:30am. AM. On Saturdays. L What’s with these early morning times and skating people? At the meets, check-in time is usually at 5:30am. AM! WTF? Anyhoo... Al Tinsley, who caught me “skating” last night, glides over to me and asks where my skates are. I explain it’s a secret, I need time to figure out how to skate, etc. Al promptly skates over to Coach Sonny Felter, and lets him know that I have skates stashed away somewhere. Wait… I don’t know how to skate yet...
Sonny is a legendary skate coach and barks at me “you better have those skates on at Friday practice!” There’s something about the way Sonny speaks, with that coach voice, that makes you just do whatever he says.
