Last night was my annual MLB All-Star game dinner with a former co-worker from BDO.  The tradition started when I first moved to Calgary back in 2012.  A friend was visiting from Ontario and on the evening of the MLB … Continue reading →

Planning for the move is still under-way.  I don’t have my boxes as yet so no packing gas started.  They will be delivered on Monday and I am off, so I will get to it in a few days.  The … Continue reading →

Busy weekend…

Posted on June 18, 2018 by kdarcy21

This past weekend flew by, as most weekends do.  I umpired a total of 4 games and did two of them alone so I will get paid for 5 games.  Not a bad weekend, profit-wise.  It was some good ball … Continue reading →

It’s baseball season so I was umpiring…

This past weekend went by too quickly, as most weekends do.  I umpired a Cal Ripken league double-header on Saturday.  It was cloudy and breezy so perfect for umpiring.  Two pretty good games.  The league plays 6 innings and a … Continue reading →

Yesterday as election day in the province of Ontario.  Although I no longer live there, I was hoping that the NDP would not form the government.  It seemed like the momentum was going their way, and I know why this … Continue reading →

Another Monday Already…

Posted on June 4, 2018 by kdarcy21

Another new week starts, Monday.  Why do weekends go by so quickly, it’s not really fair.  I am not necessarily a hater of Mondays, they happen, nothing we can do about them. I had an uneventful double-header yesterday at Optimist … Continue reading →

Posted on May 28, 2018 by kdarcy21

This past weekend flew by.  I umpired double-headers both Saturday and Sunday as well as games last Wednesday and Thursday so I just had Friday night off.  I don’t umpire this week until Thursday, so the 3 evenings free will … Continue reading →

Awesome spring weather…

Posted on May 15, 2018 by kdarcy21

The weekend went by too quickly, as most weekends tend to do.  When you umpire a double header each day though, that makes things go by a little more quickly I’d guess.  I plan on doing double headers most weekends … Continue reading →

Great weather and more baseball…

Posted on May 12, 2018 by kdarcy21

The Babe Ruth Silent Auction was held last night at Schanks South Bar, lots of items to bid on, good food and lots of people.  I stayed for a couple of hours, left shortly after 9pm.  I guess I am … Continue reading →
