If you're worried about wade being chased off, all I have to say is... you obviously don't know wade!

I wasn't necessarily speaking "highly" of wade....

Just that he can hold his own in the slings and arrows of web boarding!

I sent emails and messages to all the addresses I had-no response. I know he had to cut back on his HS games due to work conflicts. Maybe his college assignor put the whammie on him being on these boards-its not unheard of.

Maybe taking a break.

I still check the board but I'm not officiating either.

Don't know if I'm done permanetly, but I know I'm taking at least 2 years off

Funny thing is, I was thinking of starting this same thread when I got the playoff assignment in Sacramento. I have no idea how to get in touch with him, but I definitely miss his contributions around here.

Actually, for the past few months, all was better than well!! That was why I didn't have the time to come play on here!

Hi guys. Wow. Cool thread

OK, in my area there is umpire drama and ASA lost the month of may tournaments. The reality is many umpires on the "other" side are very good friends of mind and remain so; however, out of higher loyalty not so much to ASA but more so to my local association - the people who have trained us all and helped us all and for shady reasons of the greed of a coach - has been cut out, so I just stepped aside. I could not work for that group at this time. I still have hopes everything can be worked out... but that is likely naive.

A number of us stood down for may, at the cost of thousands and thousands of dollars. This is important because some tournies require upwards of 90 umpires required.

I worked some college ball and ran a few clinics and did some rec league stuff but over all, I took a few months off and it wasnt all that bad except the money. My method of dealing with a major loss of a large part of what I've done in may for years was to completely with draw.

But I was back in action this past weekend and it was great.
