holiday tournaments

Having already eaten and drunk far too much(and got sunburnt)My summer holiday will be escorting 12 "baby"refs to a development tournament in Australia,will be there for 10 days.During this time I will be conducting some lectures,evaluating games and generally trying to keep them safe and as professional as 60 teenage referees can be!While there I am sitting in as the rookie ref coach on an ANBL game.Will also be trying to maintain training for NZ pre season action day fitness tests.Know what?I will love every minute of it.

The first part applies to a lot of us over the holidays, but rarely the last part. It's just unusual for us to think about shorts, t-shirts and air-conditioning during basketball season.

Off to work the last of the five tourney games since Wednesday. I'm looking forward to mixing a cocktail, sitting on a comfy chair, and watching NFL football tomorrow.

Had my big one today...evaluations for state tournament assignments on the line...we did very well...having my Mom in the hospital all week, including some time in intensive care, left my mind elsewhere, but somehow my A game was there when I needed it.

Just glad it's over.

Have a game on the 5th, but might have some more holiday games next week before that, still waiting to find out.

Well I finished my game this morning while working a 4 day tournament. I did not go home per say. I did get on a plane and fly to California soon after my game. Well that is after a 3 1/2 hour delay. Isn't holiday travel great?

Peace
