I've been married 4 years and been an official for 4 years. I have an off night tonight, only because that is the way it happened. But other times I have done whatever it takes to make sure things are right,because that makes her happy. Only you can know what it takes for your situation.

I've been fortunate enough to have a mentor that is one of those guys that is seemingly flying around the country every night. With that comes a lot a great advice, but one of the best and most true to heart has been to make sure we take care of momma (or papa as the case may be, not that there is anything wrong with that). When things are good at home, it can only help us be better officials away from it.

Big romantic night planned tonight. Didn't take any games. Cuz' it's a special night....

Pack night.

Who on earth schedules a cub scout meeting on Valentines Day? Oh well. My wife is a den leader; my son is in the wolf den. I'll be there.

I actually chose to take tonight off. Have reservations at a semi-swanky steakhouse for me and my wife of 11 years. Blocked her birthday this year (May) too. She turns the big 4-0 and probably needs me around to remind her of it all day.

Of course I had/have varsity games Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday this week, so having one night off (nobody plays Wednesdays around here) is no big deal.

Did you have to clear this with your other wife first?


(sorry, couldn't resist...we now return you to your regularly scheduled distraction...)
