Tuesday, February 7

6:12 a.m. - Yesterday we finished most of the remaining presentations that needed to be completed.  There were still some students who had not yet completed their presentations.  There are always stragglers, and there are always students who decide to take zeros.  Last night's games at Riverdale went okay...pretty routine.

Tonight is our last Iowa night - two games at Wilton.  It will be a long night, but at least it's not too much of a drive.  It will be our first time working at Wilton.  I'm a little bummed for Marcus, one of our basketball officiating partners.  He was not assigned a regional, which is a downer.  I've been there.  It sucks when you know you are just as good as everybody else - even better than some - and you don't get included.  We have to get him up to another level next season, so he can be included.

I didn't get assigned any additional games at any other regionals, so I think I'll actually perhaps have a couple of nights off next week....not necessarily a bad thing.

Monday, February 6

6:05 a.m.  I didn't sleep very well last night, and it's going to be a long, long week this week.  I'm not sure what the problem was because I really didn't lay around all day.  I did get a chance to visit with mom and dad as they were watching the NASCAR race.  My dad looks forward to NASCAR season like I look forward to basketball season.

Today begins a completely FULL WEEK of officiating unless Mother Nature gets involved.  I just heard the weather guy on KWQC talk about some potential weather for Thursday morning.  If we don't get that, we'll be officiating two games every day - Monday through Saturday.  There are only three full weeks of the season left...I guess we'll earn our pay up to the very end.

Dixon?  My girls regional assignment is in Dixon for 3A?  Oh my goodness.

Sunday, February 5

12:07 p.m. - When the Harrison grandchildren stay the night, this is when I get to post on the blog!  Yesterday was challenging because the Hall fans were obnoxious and the Hall team wasn't very good...bad combination.  The officiating crew then headed for some pizza, which helped negate the bad from the game.  I then came home and spent the night with grandchildren.  Today the other grandchildren just arrived.  Then Amber is going to work, and I'll have some quiet time...maybe casino, maybe visit mom and dad.
