Saturday, Jan. 23

7:20 - Dang it!  I didn't become a billionaire last night, as the one winning ticket was sold in Michigan, and I bought mine in Andalusia.  I did officiate three fresh/soph games at Beyond the Baseline, and I did get all the remaining essays scored yesterday afternoon.  Those accomplishments don't quite add up to a billion dollars, but I'll take them.  And the weather?  Amber just said forecast is 6-12 inches of snow by Tuesday....yikes!  Today, I'm back to Beyond the Baseline, but this time it's six games.

In local sports news, I'm hearing rumblings that basketball teams are returning to practice and some regions of the state are now going to be able to play games.  February 15th was suppose to be the start of football and volleyball, so I don't know how boys and girls basketball is suppose to fit into three weeks.  And if the seasons are moved back, my guess is that other seasons are going to see reductions.  And if baseball and softball get reduced, those folks may go out of their minds.  It's looking like I'll have to keep basketball, volleyball, and softball gear all ready in my vehicle, which right now is the truck because I still haven't heard anything on the status of my car, which is probably not good news.

In other news, our first scheduled camping trip is planned for Memorial Day weekend.  I need truck tires; I need to fill up LP tanks; I need to get the camper out of storage; wait...it's January, and we are getting 6-12 inches of snow this weekend.  Well, a guy can dream.
