1.    You get paid to watch a baseball game.

So this afternoon when I was umpiring I realized that I enjoy it again.  Last year at this time I hated umpiring and wanted nothing to do with it.  I tried to not umpire this year because I was burnt out.  Well I was talked into doing it again and I am glad I was.  I love being around the game.  Maybe it is because I was working 14 year old baseball and it was pure again.  The kids were playing because they enjoy the game and like I did when I was that kid love the game.  Today I worked four games and I made some decent money but I would have done it for free.  I am glad I have something that can take me back to being a kid even if it is just for few hours.
