Me first:
This summer, cleaning out some closets.

Right now: fundraising for a non-profit.

1a) Attending our two sons baseball games.

1b) Playing golf with my better half and our two sons.

1c) Attending Mud Hens games and Cedar Point with my family.


2a) Umpiring boys' H.S. baseball games.

2b) Umpiring girls' H.S. softball games.

2c) Officiating girls' H.S. soccer games.
