If that is true, I think I can take up a collection to bring you to North Carolina. We are in a 3 year drout, and are behind about 15-20 inchis so far this year. Roger Greene

Thank-you JOEL
It is the 16th of July and here in BIG D the high today was like 78% and I am loving it. So far no 100%+ days even close here so what ever you are doing KEEP IT UP. I will put up with the few rain-outs we have had

Joel,
So it's your fault!!!! I was working an ASA regional in Arizona this past weekend when the skies opened up on Saturday afternoon. The TD managed to get the games that were in progress finished later that night and a few other games played. We finished up the tournament on Sunday.

If you are the one responsible for this weather, then I, like the rest of the Texans on this board, thank you. I will put up with a few rainouts to keep this cool wet weather around. In 30 years of living in Texas, I don't recall any summer so cool and so wet. I have yet to have to water the lawn. Keep it up! Scott

Time to Vent..........Softball Teams (extremely long)
Lauren is playing in LaPorte again this weekend........you going back there??? Lauren said you were NOT real happy with the organization there........
Ok.........now for my rant..... RANT ON I have spoken with glen..........(in person and via e-mail) about my oldest's team this year........ Coach of her team recruits what he feels will be the local HS-V teams starting line-up for next year (minus 2 players who are commited to playing for other teams.....1 pitcher and F7)........ He feels it will be good for them to play as a unit........instead of all of them heading off in their own direction to other travel teams........OK so far.......I agree BUT........(This Year) the head coach and 1st assistant.......are the most disorganized people I have ever had the pleasure of being associated with.......... I knew this coach from my umpiring..........(he has a 22yo daughter and I umpired many of her games when he was coaching her when she played).......and he was a GREAT coach.........always seemed to have it together. His 1st Asst. is a young lady who I have great respect for........and may have a shot at getting the HS-V coaching job after she finishes college....... I don't know if it is conflicts between the two of them that have caused the confusion this year or business in their outside schedules or what........(I have to admit......I usually have more time to help......but other matters have tied me up this season more than I would have liked).... Our local ASA DC always took care of the late forming HS teams in charging the bare minimum for forming a team after the HS season was over......... For some reason.........this year.......when approached......it was going to be considerably higher to sanction a team compared to years past........ The head coached balked and registered with AFA.........and later we went to a USFA qualifier..........(against my advice)......... To make a long story short........the team qualified for both AFA and USFA Nationals........the team voted and decided to attend the USFA Nationals in Panama City Florida starting next Monday......(July 22).......AFA Nationals start the week of the 29th (this was the Nationals that I had assumed we would go to)....... With my work situation.........there was NO WAY I could attend the USFA Tourney........so my EX and her best friend (whose daughter also plays on the team) made arrangements for the trip (and had to jump through some hoops to get vacation for that week)...........only to find out TONIGHT...........that they have blown off going to Florida................. Well......isn't that a fine kettle of fish.........my EX.......has guaranteed reservations at a Hotel they booked.......and a week of Vacation that she can't get out of...........so she and her girlfriend and her family........are going to Florida for the week.........(actually.........I think that part is cool........good family vacation)....... I had some long talks with both the manager and 1st Asst. when tournament ball season started..........ALL about goal setting..........and how important it was to have your goals set early.........apparently......my suggestions fell on dear ears...... Well.......to make a long story longer.......looks like I MAY be putting on my coaching hat yet again for the Summer 2003 Travel ball season.........the 2nd Asst. (HE will be the Manager) and I are at least thinking ahead.................grin RANT OFF Thanks for the vent........it had to go somewhere..........might as well be here...........grin Joel

In theory, I am off to work a tournament tomorrow morning. What I am wondering Joel, is, will I get it in or not? Will the northern part of the state stay dry tomorrow and Sunday? For that matter, what part of the state are you going to be in?
Scott.
