			I am 53 years old.  I started umpiring the same week I learned I was going to be the father of a son  [he's now 18].  I "set the date"  quite some time ago, but it is not on any calendar [yet].  I plan to quit on the day that (a)  I cannot get from A to the 3d base cut-out comfortably ahead of both the ball and an ambitious 16-year-old batter-runner; or  (b)  when it stops being fun - whichever comes first.
