During these off-season times, I would love to post about basketball officiating, but there was little need, especially with off-season AAU seemingly being curtailed, probably due to COVID.

Even though I have often participated, I'm getting tired and worn down posting about COVID and social justice because these topics can be construed as political, and I normally don't "do" political online (other than the Forum, I really have no social media presence, i.e., no Facebook, no Twitter etc.), unless I'm pushed into it by a need for a "science" guy, or by things I've learned participating in my church's Prison Ministry (and my research/reading for such).

My slightly, or not so slightly, off-topic posts (often responding to another member's post) are distractions for me instead of posting about COVID and social justice, with their often inherently negative "vibs".

During these COVID "plague" times, many of us could use some occasional "lighter" distractions.

As basketball season approaches (hopefully) my posts will definitely be more on basketball officiating topics.

I have three days with four sessions of the IAABO Virtual Fall Seminar (was supposed to be in Connecticut this year) later this week, and I pick up my 2020-21 NFHS Rulebook and IAABO Mechanics Manual next week.

Maybe then I'll have something much more worthwhile to share.
