Snaqs, for me you can leave the rest of the sentence off!

Right before I take the court, I toss a handful of powder into the air.

The night before I referee, I hang out with my girlfriend.

The night before I referee, I hang out with your girlfriend too.

When I get home my wife always asks if anyone yelled at me. DUH! I reply with a classic line about a bear and the woods. I tell her it doesn't bother me any, it comes with the territory.

She won't watch any game I do because she can't stand to see me get yelled at. How ironic, dear!

I pack my bag exactly the same every time. Undergarments on the bottom of the pile, outergarments in the middle, and shoes in a bag on the top. Dunno why, but I just do.

When the national anthem is played, I make a mental picture of it being done in sign language, unless I'm at the school for the deaf, then I watch the cheerleaders do it and do the English translation in my head.

The whole deaf ref thing interested me enough to run down to the local JC and get into the beginning ASL class.

My vocab is now almost 30 words. Which is 30 more then it was when I started.

Cool. I hope you are enjoying learning ASL as much as I enjoy teaching it.
