Wednesday, May 27

6:53 a.m.   Yesterday, the FedEx Ground workout was long and challenging.  The timing wasn't great, since I tried a casual home mini-triathlon.  This morning, I'm really, really sore.  And today, I really need to mow the yard since rain is in the forecast tomorrow.  

This morning the news reported that the MAC conference is only going to play varsity softball.  That sucks for me as a umpire of primarily fresh/soph and junior high softball, but I'm not surprised.  As the state continues to back off on social distancing guidelines, this decision seems interesting to me.  This is another indication that educational administrators don't seem to be all that interested in rushing into return to normal.
