I love my wife...

She goes to a game or two a year to tape me, and she was there tonight. I just told her how tough it is to be a perfectionist...how I tend to dwell on the negative (as you can probably tell in these posts...I'm forever focusing on my missteps...a casual reader of this blog might come to the conclusion that I'm constantly bungling stuff).

In response to my lamenting being a perfectionist who carries my mistakes too long, she said:

"Yes, but that perfectionism is one of the things that makes you a good ref."

True. And exactly the right thing to say at the right time.

Hands off, fellow refs. She's mine.
