Its good to be back.

I can't wait for the season to start. I recently joined an excellent crew of umpires so summer was very much a learning process. When fall came around, a friend from basketball asked me to join his football crew so again I was the new guy and learning alot (moved from line judge to umpire). I'm ver ready to get out on the basketball floor where I'm no longer the new guy and have much greater confidence in what I'm doing. First college game is November 15. I head out of town to a teaching conference this week with nothing to do on the plane and in the hotel but work with the rules book and women's manual.
