Way Back when
I remember back to my second year the opening weekend was crazy and we didn't have enough officials. On Friday I had 2 JV games. They Saturday I had a JV game at noon, another at 3:00 and then another at 6:00. All were at different places. At the last one, my partner didn't show. I did the whole game alone. I go into the locker room, exhausted and the varsity official says your partner that didn't show was suppose to ref the varsity too. You have to. So I did the varsity as well. Went home and sat in the hottub! Oh and that was my first varsity game too.

Was going to have 10 this week, but two games today got cancelled after schools were closed because of, um, heavy rain? Wind? I'm still not sure. This is South Carolina, and funny things happen. I did wake up to tornado sirens this morning at 4:00 a.m., but never would have guessed school would be cancelled... |

I know. Ever since I came to the Portland area (1971) I have just been stunned on how little knowledge there is here in how to deal with snow. I mean, we only get about 1/4 inch every 5 years or so, but when we do, the entire town shuts down.
In all my years in school in Chicago, I only missed one day due to weather and that was because the boiler broke at the school. I guess here in Portland, we don't make snowmen, we make rainmen. ![]()

Actually, the Rain Man was from Utah. A place where the population is divided into three roughly equal categories.
1. Those who know how to drive on snow, and even how to have a little fun with it 2. Those who bridge the knowledge gap with equipment (i.e., buy a monstrous truck or SUV, assume 4 wheel drive equates to "invincible on snow", and gun it!) 3. California natives attending college driving the new BMW daddy bought them with no clue how to drive on snow. Those in group 1 despise those in the other groups.

Damn straight. Nearly slid off the expressway last night on my way home from a game. But I saved it. 4-wheel drive and all!

So far, it appears my busiest week will have me topping out at 10 games spread out over four days. That will be a fun week.

I have a few Saturdays this season where I'm doing a 2:45PM or 3PM varsity game and then doing another at 7:30PM. To me, that's a full day.
My busiest scheduled week this season is 6 varsity games over 5 days (M-T-Th-F-Sx2). It's enough for me. |
