I just found a great way to stay in shape for basketball and avoid crappy summer leagues in the process:

Lacrosse.

I worked my first game last night and it was a blast. Positioning mechanics are similar to basketball and you get one hell of a workout. I think I ran more than three basketball games combined.


I felt a little clueless (full grasping of the rules will come), but I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun officiating a game. Can't beat the fresh air either.

Well, I've landed on my feet this summer with respect to summer leagues. By pure unadulterated luck, I found a spring league with some of the best varsity girls teams in the area, and they like me! I didn't get yelled at once in 5 games last Saturday. Furthermore, the assignor for this league has invited me into another summer league with similar guidelines, and a higher skill level. I'm feeling on top of the world!!

Good for you!

That sounds like the holy grail compared to what is around here.

Wail until next year, hopefully some plumb contracts roll in.

I saw a billboard in indy this weekend for a plumbung company. It read: "Our plumbers show up on time and smell good".
