She shouldn't. She's practically got a brand new kitchen and a new car out of the deal, so I think she came out ahead.
No, but seriously... She's very supportive of me as an umpire, and that's very helpful. She'll even come to my games every now and then. She doesn't understand everything, but she certainly tries and asks questions afterward. |
It is nice to have supporters of the umpire in the stands. One of my HS partners wife never missed a game that he called.......I was always envious of him for that. My middle daughter used to come and see me umpire quite often........she lives about 60 miles away now and it has been a few years.......maybe after she graduates she might move back closer to home and can come again........I can only hope......
