Pete: DO NOT LEAVE UMPIRING IN TWO YEARS!!
Umpiring needs you and everyone remotely like you, Pete. You know in your heart when it's time to move somewhere, but not out of umpiring. You can help younger umpires just by being out there. You love it, and others can learn to love it just by being around you.
I got into it late, and I'll be 53 next year. I've managed to stay pretty athletic for this age, but I've already decided that when I can't pull off the more challenging levels, I'll just move down to the smaller diamond and help out there. Smaller diamond may be the answer, Pete. When Sinatra got older, he just had his orchestra play louder.
