I remembered Bob Jenkins line "give yourself enough time, if you're late, you're not." It certainly applied yesterday as I was there plenty early yet was cutting it close for Soph game. Made it easier that partner could care less about any sort of pregame.
Officials paying for parking? Nonsense!

I've had a few schools try to get me to pay for parking.

My thoughts exactly. No way I'm going to pay for parking. No way I'm going to walk two blocks to officiate a game.

But would you, "walk a mile for a Camel"?

I really love Chicago and miss not getting to city as often as I would like to. I didn't mind the walk as the weather has been mild. That said, middle of January and I've got a beef with the school.
