Just down the road from Mark, so same thing for me. Fall season ended late Sept. I've never gotten involved in dome ball, although I've thought about it from time to time. I kind of enjoy the off season, so that is one reason I haven't really embraced dome ball. It is also a reason I am not envious of our southern colleagues who have no off season. But, the few games I have called in a dome (HS scrimmages plus a tourney game or two that were trying to escape the weather and to actually finish the tournament), the dome is not "real" softball - too cramped behind the plate, too cramped outside the foul lines, short outfields, overhead obstructions, sometimes goofy "ground rules", etc. I just didn't enjoy it much. Maybe the mind set is better for an actual dome season rather than the situations above. Dunno.
Anyway, off season until clinics begin in Feb or so.
