This year I bought 0 shirts, 1 pairs of pants, 0 UnderArmour undershirts, a three-pack of socks, and a pair of shoes. Drove 3,220 miles including meetings.

I still have 5 games left--a pair of men's rec games that are worked three-person (a lot of the top officials in our chapter) and three in a regional tournament for Biddy Basketball. Last year teams came from up to 400 miles away! I had the Travel League Boys B division Final Four last night--that was fun!
