My season ends about mid-October. I take two weeks to get my gear cleaned, sorted, packed up and put away (LOOK! ANOTHER SOCK!). From November 1st until January 1st I make repeated trips from the la-z-boy to the fridge to the loo to bed and back. After the first of the year I start on the treadmill 3 days a week. February 1st I pop in game tapes and call along with them (I change the calls I missed on the tape
). That gets the lunges and the timing going. The last week in February my buddies and I head for Florida for ten days of umping lower level (D1 & D2) games. That gets the "sea legs" back under me. Then I go back to Illinois and wait three weeks for the weather to break.
