[Elaine "Lady Blue"]

I hope everyone has had a great season so far, and you're looking forward to tournament ball.
As many of you know, I have not umpired in 3 years mainly due to poor health. As of this past March 1, I also retired from my 30+ year job at BellSouth and hope to be continuing my career in a part time position.
I have not given up ever umpiring again (that is until I can't walk or trot--lol)
I miss the girls, the game and the umpire commarderie (spelling?) but not the dam heat and humidity! It's been awful here in Atlanta Metro. If you're umpiring the 18U Gold here, let me know and I'll come out to see you.
Let me know what you've been doing! How is Papa Smurf? And you Mike, Don, Steve, Scott, et al?
Oh, before I forget, do any of you have the URL to the website with the smilies that Papa and I used to copy on our posts here and on eteamz?
