Had a lot of Vermont nights like that, but without the partner. Have a DH in town tomorrow night. I probably go 70-75 miles max one way now. Was about 40 miles away on Monday, but it seemed a lot farther.

It probably seems too close now.

We'll see. Back there in January twice. Maybe they've repaired the road.

Had a girls JV/V night tonight 10 miles from home. Left at 5:00 and was home around 9:00.

I just got home now. 12:40AM.

In the end, it was a good night. The visiting team is one I see often, and I've always had a good relationship with the head coach and the coaching staff. The home coach was a good sport the whole night -- he was getting waxed and took it in good humor. The AD is a (I believe, if he isn't he should be) Hall of Fame football coach who managed to stick some extra mileage money on the check because I was moved to this game at the last minute. And neither coach said a word the entire game, I got a fabulous workout as they ran me up and down the court well, and if we shot 10 free throws the entire game, I'd be surprised.

Of course, the ironic thing is that out of the 5 games I had/have this week, 4 are 3-person girls games and the one game where we got to run hard was the boys game tonight, worked 2-person.

Off to bed. Back at it tomorrow. Only about 75 miles from the house. I'm only driving about 15 miles of it, though, before I meet the driver.

Years and years ago (before MTD, Jr. was even in grade school), I worked the women's side of the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference. I was the only Ohio official in the conference. Lots of Wednesday night games in December and January; minimum two hours to the nearest college for a 7pm or 7:30pm start. Ah, to be young again and have hair.

MTD, Sr.
