Cancellation with a twist
 

I was scheduled to work the first game of a tournament that pits the teams from the North and South divisions of a conference against one another based on the standings. 1 plays 1, 2 plays 2, ..., 6 plays 6.

Our game was scheduled for 6PM. But one of the contracted officials ended up scheduled to work the game involving a school where he teaches -- so we switched games and took the late game tonight.

This afternoon the visiting team for the late game decided to cancel all events due to snow -- home *and* away. The 6PM game was still on, last I heard. So the other crew got switched to the early game and I ended up losing the game as it's been rescheduled for a day I'm already working.

So I'll go out to dinner with my family instead. For once, I feel like I'm the winner.

Along those same lines......
 

Our games for tomorrow are already cancelled (snow), so I have a rare Saturday off. Think the wife has got that "honey do" list all revved up and ready to go!

Yes Dear, Yes Dear, Yes Dear!!
And have you made significant inroads into that list?

It's My Lucky Day ???
 

I had three Catholic middle school games, and a high school varsity game, canceled today due to a few inches of snow. Instead of spending the day officiating, I spent it snow blowing my driveway, and cleaning the whole house, top to bottom, dusting, vacuuming, etc. I'm out about $150.00, and I'm doing chores instead. I guess I'll start doing my laundry now.

Were you at my house?

.....and yes, absolutely!

No, I was not. The scenarios just must be similar. LOL!

I did bag some serious brownie points yesterday. In lieu of the Ravens/Pats game, we went to a chick flick at Cine Bistro.

Also, I did record the game.
