SWMBO - The next Chapter

[Aging_Arbiter]

Yes, many of you are familiar with my SWMBO stories, and trust me, there are many MANY stories that don't make it to this forum.  So the latest chapter unfolds as I'm going through the "end of summer" cleaning of the equipment bag and disposing of things that have been extended beyond their usefulness, as we get into "fall ball" mode.  As I get to my (what I call) "ditty bag", I pull out 3 or 4 indictors, 2 plate brushes, some pencils, sun screen and a line up card holder (that has seen better days).  Since SWMBO also wears the hat of my personal financial consultant, she also receives the emails from @JimKirk's team (because she has placed several orders for me).  She mentioned that "our man @Scott Kennedy" just did a 2 minute review of a new magnetic line up card holder, and that I should order one.  Well, needless to say, I just placed my order.  Fella's, I wish that each and of you could have such a supportive SWMBO as I do (if the situation applies).  Ladies, I just hope your "fella" is as understanding.

I'm going to add my wife to the Ump-Attire.com mailing list. Dollars to doughnuts I get the "why the heck am I getting this now?"

My wife is super supportive too. She always wants to know my schedule, is very excited when Arbiter sends us notification of new games and is always disappointed when I have a rainout. She dresses to the nines for my departure.... not so much for my return ... but I'm sure that is because she had a hard day.

Pretty sure mine was on the mailing list for both UA as well as Gerry Davis. Also pretty darn sure she has "unsubscribed" from all this "umpire crap" she keeps getting. Lol
