I’ve had the last two evenings free, no umpiring on Thursday or Friday. It was a nice, needed break from the action. I’ve umpired more this year than ever before, I’m at the diamond as much as I was when I coached.

Back at it tomorrow, other than the weather forecast which is calling for rain all day. Forecasts are very often wrong though, so I’ll wait and see what happens. I will have a nice relaxing day if the parks are closed.

Sunday is supposed to be nice though so my double header will go, I’m sure. As of now, I don’t have a partner for either Sunday game, hopefully that’ll change. Next week will be busy too, with games Monday through Thursday. It’ll be a tiring week.

Today was my bosses last day at work. He was likely the best manager I’ve worked for and I’ll miss him. I wish you well in your future. Last week, my co-worker in my group left. We got to know one another on our trip last year to Mauritius. Best of luck to both of you. I have a few added tasks to my job now. I’m hoping for a promotion. We’ll see.

I got details on my trip to Missouri in August yesterday. We leave on August 1 at 6am and arrive in Branson just after 4pm, via Houston where we have a few hour layover. Coming back, we fly though Denver. Guess I’ll be adding three more states to my visited list of the US. I’m looking forward to the trip.

Well, it’s the weekend, do try to enjoy it.
