Gee, just as I was getting into my morning newspaper, The Oregonian, this Monday morning, I turn the page and staring me right in the face is a photo of our very own Ms. Juulie Downs (Rainmaker) in her OSAA stripes pointing a direction for an OOB play during a middle school game. (BTW - it went off blue, so it was white ball - you had it wrong...only kidding!)
Apparently, there is a recurring feature in the paper that describes the various exercise workouts of different people around the area and this article was about Juulie getting her workout by being a referee.
It was a very interesting piece and Juulie explained why she does it. Mostly, it's because it's cheaper than paying a gym.
Actually, Juulie gave some very good insight into the side benefits of officiating, mainly the conditioning and exercise, plus the fact that this type of exercise is not "mindless" like some other types are, despite what the Howler Monkeys think.
One question, though. In the article Juulie states she "doesn't smoke or drink coffee."
I didn't know you could smoke coffee. Juulie, please explain.
BTW- in the photo, Juulie looked babe-a-licious. OK, OK - I'm allowed one sexist comment per post. Hey - I did use "Ms." earlier in this post. See - I'm learning.
