5:21 a.m.  - My pay for last night's umpiring was $105, and that sounds great.  We started at 4:30 with the varsity game, and I didn't walk off the diamond until 9:00 because both the varsity and fresh/soph games were VERY long.  And some people would say that's over $20 an hour for JUST umpiring softball, and there probably was a time when I was just starting out that I would say I didn't mind.  And MAYBE if I wasn't dead tired from working 12 youth games over the weekend, last night wouldn't have been as bad.  Last night, though, under all the circumstances, I was really wondering if it was all worth it.  I hope I'm just tired.  I remember last year this time I wasn't even allowed out of the house due to lockdown, so just the opportunity to be outside on a diamond is something I should be thankful for, but that was a long night.  Tonight I'm at Rock Island for one varsity game, so HOPEFULLY, I'll have a shorter night.

Today at school Jodie Eaker will be in class from Morrison Tech, and I use to work with her there when I was an admissions rep with the school  It will be nice to see her, and she will be good for the students.
