I passed my ITIL Foundations Certification course, thankfully.  I did not want to have to take that again or write the exam again.  Phew. So, what does it mean that I am certified in ITIL Foundations?  No idea…  lol I … Continue reading →

Canada Day Double Header

Posted on July 1, 2012 by kdarcy21

My Canada Day double header turned into a single game.  It was one of the longest single games that I have ever umpired.  It ended in the bottom of the 6th inning (luckily) in a mercy, 16-6.  It should have … Continue reading →
