Here is my priority list.
  1. God
  1. Family
  1. Job
  1. Officiating

I feel sorry that you have nothing else to do with your life than umpire. I think I give back quite enough to the sports I officiate and spend enough time away from the people I love working games. I do not need another reason to stay away from my home and my job (which actually pays all the bills BTW).

Great comeback my man. Now I know why the divorce rate is so high in this country.
