Looking at the weekend

As I head out of the office for the day and with a very full E-town sports weekend on tap, I wanted to leave you with this:

Please keep in your thoughts and prayers Tim Bartholomew and his family and friends. As you may or may not know, Tim was a well-respected L-L League basketball official who passed away yesterday after officiating the Hershey - Boiling Springs District 3 playoff game. It's a sad day for everyone in the local sports community, many of whom knew and respected Tim. I only ask that, as you attend wrestling or basketball or whatever this weekend that you think twice before yelling to the referee that he is terrible. Remember, they are just people. Like you and me. They have families, they have lives outside of refereeing.

Rest In Peace, Tim. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
