Hello all who've been here a while. I'm no longer AWOL. Lots of changes for me - worked 2 places were it was about impossible to get on line at work, and far too busy at home.

Now I have a LITTLE bit of free time during work breaks to check in here.

I've moved to Houston (well, Katy). Breaking in at a new place is tough, but I think I've finally met some of the right people. Had 8 or 9 high school games this year and was pretty busy with ASA on Monday's and Saturdays. Worked 11 games this weekend, loving every minute of it and working with a GREAT partner who showed me a few things I was doing wrong that I would have never learned had I stayed in the "sticks" or northwest Dallas where I was big fish in a little pond.

I think I'm going to like medium fish in a huge pond. Lots of good ball here - lots of good umpires.

I don't do nearly the football I did before (the good ole boy network in Houston seems to be harder to break into than it was in Dallas).

And one last change ... now I'm an IT guy designing websites (check www dot imstoday dot com - and the associated IMSToday blog (link in the lower left of the main site).

Glad to see you back here posting. I moved from the SF Bay Area last August and ended up living in Katy of all places...so we are probably neighbors more or less. I'm not working softball this year though I will be working football this fall (and I picked up basketball last year).

Welcome back.

Don't you just hate it when work gets in the way of having fun?

Welcome back!

So mcrowder, as we once knew ye, why aren't you using your old log in?

Good to see you back. Little Elm will never be the same, though!

If memory serves, the mcrowder login is VERY old and I could not change anything on it because the email it was attached to no longer belonged to me. That switched before leaving podunk NW Dallas to live in podunk W Houston.
