I've really reduced my games from previous years. I found myself trying to do too much....
Full-time job; family; keeping up with household chores; umpiring college; high school; spring ASA; summer ASA; fall ASA....WOW, I hadn't gone fishing or camping this year. What happened?
So, the guidelines I set for myself 2 years ago:
1. Spring NCAA tourney (I take a week of vacation to work 15 games in 5 days to get ready for the season)
2. College - 2 DH a month (2 1/2 month season)
3. High School - 3 games per week
4. Spring ASA....no games until HS season is over
5. Summer ASA....3 weekends in June & July (limit to one day unless a very high level Tourney)
6. Fall ASA....no games
With this my yard still looks good and I get my canoe out on a regular basis on the local lakes & rivers for some fishing.
