37 games is nothing to base a career on...but it is something to come to a realization...and that realization is what you just told me in your post. It's almost as if I'm starting over

It's one thing to read the rules and know them well, but it's another to go out there and use them. That comes with time...thats the realization I'm getting.
It is true some people just aren't built for officiating. But 37 games is IMO too soon to hang 'em up. I had the advantage of working 100+ games in each of my 1st four seasons. And man did I suck in the beginning! Hell, I sucked in December too, but I got out there again and fixed my mistakes.

From your blog I see you want to improve - even at that you're ahead of many guys out there. Patience (with yourself, and your assignors.)
