What I learned at Camp

[rainmaker]

The most important thing I learned today, the last day at camp, was that today, July 2, is our own rockyroad's birthday!! I didn't learn which birthday it was, since he was rather, uh, embarrassed about the whole thing.

[M&M Guy]

Really!?! It's rocky's birthday!?! Cool! Happy birthday, rock!

Now that you're old, it's time to retire from officiating.

Happy Belated Birthday, DJ!!

Why thank you all very much...but I find it hard to believe that was the best thing you learned Mrs. Rainmaker...sorry I never got to really see you work over there - the schedules just never seemed to mesh very well.

Which camp did you go to, Juulie? I went to the Aloha camp over the weekend. It was really good - I was fortunate enough to get evaluations from 3 of the top guys in our association. Learned a lot.

It was the OCOC at (any guesses?) OCHS. I actually learned a lot, besides DJ's birthday, and it was a very good camp for me.

3 important things.
1) Pay more attention to myself before the game so I'm ready to ignore myself during the game.
2) video is really, really helpful. which I already knew, but was re-affirmed. And from the video, even in 3-whistle trail needs to be closer to the play than I was.
3) ABC isn't as complete a total a$$ as I thought. There's actually a thread of humility in there. Really, Mark, you'd have been amazed.

3 less important things.
1) Although the PBOA has its problems, it's a pretty darn good association.
2) Being a woman ref, even a lesbian, isn't as difficult as being a gay male ref.
3)girls' basketball is really fun to referee when you get the hang of it!
