Oh boy, oh boy - just got called to do a game tonight - first one of the season

[Mark Padgett]

The assignor for this huge kids rec league here in Portland (almost 3000 games this coming season including tournaments) just called me to work a 5th grade boys game tonight. OK, it's just 5th grade but it will give me a change to try out my new gym bag!

Besides, it pays $30 which is pretty good for 5th grade, it's at a middle school about 6 or 7 minutes from my house, my partner is a buddy and I get paid at the game, probably in cash.

The only thing is - this partner has a tendency to call games really close, so I expect we'll be there awhile.

If anything funny happens (and somehow, it usually does in my games - go figure) I'll post it.

BTW - when I said "first game of the season" that means I place no importance on the wreck games I've been doing the past few weeks.
