Well, I'm finishing up my 16th year, which means I've umpired a shade over half my life (I'm 31). I've already called in one National, called some State tourneys, and called a few thousand games in my lifetime. Had my ups, had plenty of downs, but I still enjoy doing it.
I think I have only two goals:
1 - Keep doing my job as best I can, and take things one game, one call at a time.
2 - Eventually, do this long enough and keep learning my job well enough that I might train the next round of rookies.
Beyond that, that's it. If I get more "big games," wonderful! If not, no biggie. I've done my service, and will continue to do my service as long as I can.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
