This I understand. I know it's ultimately up to me to learn my capabilities and my limits so that I do not become a liability. It just seemed that the "go play around on the infield obstacles" approach was overly superficial. This was the homecoming, however, with a lot of people and not a local chapter gathering. So logistically, I guess this approach was all that was practical.

Was this due to snow and impassability of roads? Or were they just using you as one more vehicle than they normally have at their disposal?
