I was thinking more of a weak will.

He probably didn't even have a will. How much money could he have after only playing 1 game in the majors?

Oh, wait a minute...that's not what you meant.

I wonder if weak wills run through families?

Are you worried? I heard he had an illegitimate child running around Illinois officiating basketball games.

Let's see...weak will, strong appendages...

Uh, oh.

Ooh, wait - born in 1914. Whew, just missed.

Hey, that'll make you a good living hitting in baseball.

As long as it's over more than one game.

(Now I'm beginning to see why the IHSA wants me to stay at home...)

1 outta 3 is ok. That's because 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I won't be darkening the great state of Illinois this year (I got tired of the travel and my schedule is good enough in Wisconsin).

We are also doing the online meeting for hoops, second year. No accountability for actually watching the video yet as we STILL don't have individual logins to the WIAA Officials Center (all use the same username and password).

I like it. I travel for a living and every year I have 1-3 meetings I have to drive long distances for because I am on the road working during the 2 weeks in Wisconsin they actually hold the meetings. Naturally, I try to do more business travel during the offseason so I can work more games during the season.

That said, the WIAA has been extremely cooperative in this area. This year I had a private meeting arranged with one of the interpreters to meet the requirement. Last year during baseball season I ended up driving from Madison to Sterling, IL to get to a preseason meeting.

Oh, wow, glad that got straighted out. I'd hate to be spreading false rumors.
