What is/was your occupation?

[mlarson]

elementary school teacher, 5th grade
baseball umpire and some kind of pysical labor during summers

Best time of the year is the Little League World Series!! So much more exciting with amazing plays than Major League baseball with the millionaire prima donna's.

Have you ever attended the LLWS. I was born and raised in Williamsport PA. Have only missed 3 LLWS in my 32 yrs of life. Now travel back to the area for a day trip to attend with my family. Its an amazing atmosphere there.

Born in Pottstown, Pa and camped in Williamsport area a lot but never made it. I watch every game every year on TV and wish I were there. You're lucky. Do you try to get in the lottery to ref a game? That would REALLY be special.

It is amazing how skilled every one here is. Must be the lure of the pellet stoves, the concept must capture the imagination of the mechanically inclined. And frankly, pellet stoves are not for the people that don't like to get their hand dirty.

I couldn't agree more... no wonder it takes me 2 weeks to finish projects that I find on the forum took others 2 hours!

Web User Experience Analyst for a biotech company... simply put: I try to make websites easier to use.
