Sometimes I ask myself why? (or WTFIWWY? What The F Is Wrong With You?) but for the most part I enjoy the games and the partners I get to work with-My son for one (He's 22 now) and my good friends J.T., Harvey, Steve and one of my former players, Chris. I especially like seeing the younger umpires get better (my son and Chris-they were teammates from t-ball through high school) and just being with other umpires who enjoy baseball and umpiring as much as I do (JT, Harvey and Steve).

It is insane but it keeps me out of trouble and relatively thin. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone (okay for anyone but this is coming from a guy who used to jump from perfectly good airplanes).
