Board!

Welpe

Board what? Game? Crash the boards? Or did you mean "bored"? 😀

I'm wasting away at work today, wishing I had more vacation time and champing at the bit to get back on the court. My next games aren't until January 5th. 🙁

I am not working a game until tomorrow (Kansas, IL). Until then I will beat my head against my desk.

I meant bored. A little play on words. That's how bored I am!

My thoughts, exactly! Except I'm "chomping at the bit."

Nope. I do not have state finals on my resume. Maybe later. Down the road in Bloomington.

A few tournament games which I'm done with and now doing some day soph boys tournies around Chicago which I always love over holidays. I always take days off during break.

No games until Jan. 5th or 6th, probably. I could have had two this week but it would have meant driving to the other side of Portland, and it's just such a hassle to stop and exchange money and show your passport when you cross over the river to the east side. 😀

Well, 2 days before a big X-mas tournament here we got our games snatched. Apparently an out-of-town organization came in with a lower bid.

So I have 1 whole game this week.

Gee, I hope that out of town org can do it in the future, because if I were you guys, I'd tell them to shove it next year.

I'll reserve my comments on the situation until we get the full story. But it was disheartening. It's a pretty good tournament with a mix of local and out-of-town teams. I was looking forward to working it.

Maybe your organization ought to pay the out of towners a visit to their local areas and start poaching games. I'm sure they'd really appreciate that.

Thanks for having my back (though lately I've been leaving typos alone unless they're funny). I'm in NYC at the moment and behind on my forum monitoring. 😮
