I've got 2 games left: Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, in our provincial finals.

If I'm selected past round 2, I will work Tuesday night, and hopefully Wednesday morning, or even Wednesday night too.


I have a love-hate with this time of the year.

Over? Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor?
I have one more week to go, I think.

I keep getting emails and more assignments on Arbiter - Rec or Men's League tournaments or make-up games. But, I think next week is it.

I too look forward to a little yard work!

I finished 10 days ago. 13 HS games in the last 15 days, 11 of which were conference tournament or state playoff games. Ready for some rest and March Madness!

But I'll probably be ready to go again when AAU hits in early April.

Nope. I do not want to get hurt. Too much to lose. And I officiate enough already. I cannot imagine playing too.

Peace

I'll be 48 this May. I play once/twice a week and most times I'm the oldest player on the court. There was a period of time I stopped playing on the advice of other officials. But playing makes me happy and I'm very careful with what I do when I'm on the court. Since I'm no longer in a position where I NEED the income from officiating if I get injured it would just be an "oh well" moment.

Play noon Ball at the Y every other day.....I am 45 and have had meniscus repaired in my left knee....wear a brace when I play and when i ref. Don't play when I have to ref that night...can't do it anymore. Get a cortisone shot in my knee once every 4 months to keep it lubricated. Doctor says it is better to keep active rather than develop arthritis in my knee. Have an ALUMNI tourney coming up at the end of the month.....3 days of ball (and beverage). Best part is my regular partners ref that tourney and i get to yell at them!!!

I'm done.

I was ranked #1 in my provincial finals tournament! I am humbled for that. Hard work pays off! Now to show my interest in the Nationals...
