Shoulda. Woulda. Coulda. C'mon Snaqwells. Even officials who offciaite in Rome eventually get old.

You mean keyboarding skills. Give me an old fashioned, manual, typewriter, the kind that Miss Dench, my ninth grade typing teacher, taught us on, and I'll show you whose skills have eroded.

Pants are a personal choice -- to me the key thing is that they look like referee pants but also are comfortable and fit well. Some people may not be served by Sansabelts and prefer Honig's or Smitty.

Tripped over a player in my blind spot last night. Since I don't know of a way to buy another knee for my pants, I need to buy a new pair.

Looked at Honigs, OC (they don't have any basketball pants on their site), and GD. Any other suggestions?

Hah, no he didn't. But I should have been faster getting down the court. I normally beat them down court, so I'm not sure how he got there. He must have been cherry pickin.

Got a nice little spot on my knee where the skin came off, and my wrist started hurting a few hours later (from bracing my fall), but it's nothing I can't work with. Today's my first day off in a while, though, so I have that going for me.

Is there any film that can be posted?

You'll have to ask APG.

I'm still working on my spill from last week -- if I get film, I'll post it. If I can't laugh at myself, who can?

My typing teacher's name was Miss Wantz. As in, "I wantz to learn to type!" A looker as I recall. 😉

To this day people question me about why I pound with such force on my keyboard at work. Back in the day, it was the only way to get those gigantic manual Royal typewriters to work properly.

Miss Dench had us typing to music, vinyl records on a turntable, to maintain proper timing, and rhythm.

She was also a looker. Must be a prerequisite to become a typing teacher.

If I get the video, I'll show it at our association banquet this spring. I'm the President, so I get to set some of the agenda.

I think Between The Lines is having a sale right now.... might check them out.

Typically, I get my slacks from Purchase Officials in the summer when they have their sale.

Bought a pair of Gerry Davis pants....with the adjustable waistband...allows for +- inch either way. Allows for my growth, depending how much I ate or drank over the weekend! They also have the rubber inside the waistband to keep your shirt tucked in. Rest of the crew loves them as well.

Not everywhere. My typing teacher was about 70 years old, and I doubt she was much of a looker 40 years earlier. Typing II was my last final exam in high school. My hands were shaking in anticipation. I made a mistake typing my name on the cover sheet. I hit the typewriter with my fist, even though the typewriter was not at fault.

I just bought 4 pair of slacks from Honigs. Had not bought any from them for a while. After having tried slacks from almost every vendor out there, Honigs was by far my favorite. However, they recently changed manufacturers and their current product does not hold a candle to their previous product. The current product is thin and has no "body" whatsoever. I sent them back and went with Sansabelt. Be prepared to be disappointed if you buy from Honigs...

Just purchased a pair of Haggar Men's Pants, Flat Front Cool 18 No-Iron. $35.00 at Penny's. Love 'em. Of course, here in my little corner of Connecticut, belted pants are neither discouraged, nor encouraged.
