I worked a high school game last night. Boys varsity. On my way up there, my wife calls -- turns out the doctors wanted her to come to the hospital to (potentially) induce labor.

My wife, who understands the officiating illness as best as anyone, tells me to go work the game. It's 80 miles away.

So we do. Game finished in 1:15. Call my wife. They're definitely inducing labor, but not for a while. She tells me to grab dinner on my way. I do, along with a BIG beer.

Even though they started this process nine hours ago, they don't think the baby will be coming until tonight.

I found a replacement for tonight's game. And Monday's. Even I know my true prioities.

Cool

Rich - early congratulations. Hope everything comes out all right (pun intended). One comment - you didn't drive after chugging that beer, did you?

Hell no, I was dropped at the hospital by my partner. Now I'm heading back.

Hey Rich....

Congratulations and Good Luck with the young'n. Is this your first? Honig's has those little ref shirts....

Your wife is a real sport....all the best to her....keep us posted!

My wife was 2 months past her due date with our first, 27 years ago....finally got tired of waiting anymore so we went to a Marquette/Wisconsin Badger BB game at the field house and jumped up and down with the band. Worked like a charm. Eric was born the next day!

Best wishes to you and your family!

What is the proper term for a baby zebra?


(It's a colt or a foal)

...Local High School Sports recap, Jewel.
Big game U.P. here... in the middle.
He was working with a partner with very good length.

From what I saw, zebra44 refs as good as he ice fishes.
(Last time he came back with 23-1/2 # of ice.)

too bad we can't have a ZebraZone channel -- replay any game any of us has ever done that's been telecast.

All Stripes!! All the time!!
