Despite the fact that she didn't grow up with softball anywhere near her, she's always been very supportive of my habit... I mean career.

Even when I told her I'd have to drop some serious cash on equipment to go to FP, she didn't have too big a problem with it.

She shouldn't. She's practically got a brand new kitchen and a new car out of the deal, so I think she came out ahead.

No, but seriously... She's very supportive of me as an umpire, and that's very helpful. She'll even come to my games every now and then. She doesn't understand everything, but she certainly tries and asks questions afterward.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

It is nice to have supporters of the umpire in the stands. One of my HS partners wife never missed a game that he called.......I was always envious of him for that. My middle daughter used to come and see me umpire quite often........she lives about 60 miles away now and it has been a few years.......maybe after she graduates she might move back closer to home and can come again........I can only hope......

I think YOU got it that I was asking if they are one and the same.

Well, they're both named Laura, they're both foreign, and, in my opinion, they're both easy on the eyes.

That's where the similarities end.
