Blog update

Sorry, it's been a while again with blog writing. The spring is always a tough time of the year to make time for the computer as I am opening up the lake place and trying to get as much work done there as possible so I can spend most of the summer just having fun and fishing. Haven't played much poker and honestly haven't missed it much. There is a CMPPA event this coming weekend that I will be running to start but then have to go to work later in the day. I am starting to wonder if some of the things that I run in my life are really worth it. The CMPPA seemed like a good idea when I formed it, but that was when I was running 2-3 bar games a week. Now, with membership down, I am just not sure if it is still worth my time. Making an organization like the CMPPA work requires a lot of effort and I am not sure that if I don't put that effort in that anyone else will. I am grateful for the help that all the CMPPA board members give me but what is missing is me being at local bar games promoting the CMPPA and I just can't do that anymore. I am not ready to give up yet, but my feeling is that next year maybe the last year of the CMPPA. I also run several youth bowling tournaments that has grown to a north and southern MN divisions thanks to my daughter Kara. But, my end of the tournaments the Central MN Jr Traveling Tournament is dwindling mostly due to the fact that I am not in any of the bowling centers anymore to be able to promote it. It also doesn't help that most of the local centers here hardly even have a Jr bowling program anymore. Next season is the 10th anniversary of the CMJTT and I plan on running events here in Central MN, but that might be the end of it. I guess that I just might be getting tried of all the donations of my time that doesn't seem to matter to anyone else but me.
