Duke, (Ken E.) Eat Your Wheaties!!

[Duke]

JEL,

WOW, 160 teams !!!!! The umpire list I received had 51 umpires. Man this will be one heck of a week. Not that the weather up here is approaching GA weather but at least it has been unusually hot and humid. Our States two weekends ago saw temps approaching 100 degrees with high humidity and no breeze. This was just a two day tourney. I kept thinking about having to spend a week in that type of weather.

This past weekend I worked a 12U Regional with temps in the mid 80's. At least I am getting a little acclimated. I run for exercise and have been spending my lunch hour running mid day just to get my body use to the heat. I can usually tolerate the heat quite well as long as I stay hydrated. These tourneys have given me a chance to see what works best as far as fluid intake goes. I am soaking wet after the first couple of innings so I need to take on lots of fluids.

I plan to fly into Atlanta on Sat night. Counting the days.

I'm still looking for you to take care of the weather for me.

Thanks for the heads up.
