Burned out gifted kid issue number 5011: Getting bummed over a 98% on a test that proves you know the rules about a thing, not because you didn't know the answer but because the question was worded weird and doesn't really apply to your state ass'n. #refereelife #refproblems

Long week of refereeing high school fixtures. Day off today, but refereed 2 varsity matches and assistant refereed a third. Ran/walked just over 15 km over the day. It was stupid hot for all three games, but we got it done. #RefereeLife #Refereeing #FitnessJourney

Last night's soccer: 1.5 miles in a high school game. One of the lower amounts I've ever ran over the course of the game. Solid midfield battle with backs that didn't push forward. Single header game as the home side's park had no lights. Got home & did a fast chest set #reflife #soccerref #refsky

First world physical culture collector issues: Thought I ordered a full run of the 1915 Physical Culture run. There are in fact 12 issues from 1915 that were delivered, and upon further review, I realized I misunderstood the listing.

When you are a high school referee, you kinda kiss your social life away during season - esp. since I referee club and high school ball. I'm scheduled for five off days over the next six wks apparently. Tho, tbf: 2 of those working days are volleyball the rest are soccer #GetSome #Run #RefereeLife

I keep forgetting I have this app. I want to use it a lot more. Especially since I'm working on a new book. Obviously looking for followers/mutuals/whatever. Currently writing a book on George Hackenschmidt and his lifts. Hoping to polish on 8 Sept. #author #kentucky #sports #referee

Autograph of the Day: Darren "Dutch" Daulton. One of my heroes growing up who played behind the plate. I modeled my own catching career behind Daulton and Gary "The Kid" Carter. #autographs #collecting #thehobby

How many attorneys have been disbarred now for their dealings with DJT? And I've got a feeling that the interim US Attorney that just got hammered by the Eastern District of Virginia is going to be added to this list. At some point, you'd look at the history and go, "umm. no thank you."

Today I won 12 whole yankee dollars from the county fair for a poem and a short story. Two red ribbons... Problem with subjective judging is that it is in fact subjective. a different judge might have blued me across the board. Love all y'all.

Women's Lacrosse is one of the more fun sports I've encountered. I'm learning it quickly - eventually, I hope I'm half as good at LAX as I am at soccer.

Last night's lacrosse match was the opposite of "domination but winning 1-0" it was "holy shit this game is closer htan the score board shows" The difference goal keeping made. Had to send a player off. Some slashing and some cross checking and the tempers were a-flaring.

This bullpen is gonna be the death of me. Surely there's some dudes in fucking AAA or AA or hell independent ball that can throw fucking strikes, right?

My name is Dave, and I'm a kit snob. The Sedona Red jerseys with teal nameplates and front numbers and black team names and back numbers look terrible. Do better Arizona.

Because we're not going to post our way out of Fascism. So we might as well enjoy shit when we can. Also, I mainly talk about sports because (see name) it's kinda how I make my living.

Tucker 2/2. Everyone else is having a shite day so far. Not going to blame the umpire, the paint job that Imanaga has been doing has been a touch high. I agree with JDS about not yelling about them.

I do like the teal piping on these black Arizona Diamondbacks alternate kits. I disagree with Boog, I like the two colour jerseys on the field. I'd always pick colour over white or gray.

Pfaadt gives up a double, a walk, and then gets out of the inning. Happy for the Louisville boy, kinda annoyed its against the Cubs. #CubsDiamonbacks #GoCubsGo

Long night was long. Got home from refereeing a double header in Bowling Green at exactly 0:12 EDT. Tried to fall asleep. Stared at the ceiling until 2:30ish. Slept til 10. Still kinda tired. Games went well. I'm really figuring out the rhythm behind the game of women's lacrosse. 1/
