Hi Tony.
I just joined this site today, but have been umpiring for about 8 years after coaching for over 20.
It does become an obsession.
It gets in your blood and on rainy days you will feel withdrawal symptoms.
In 14 years and 700 games, I'm sure you saw the entire spectrum of umpiring.
If I could give you any advice it would be this: Be the umpire you wanted to have when you were coaching.
