Add my $.02 and we almost have a nickel. It was really weird that they chose to play to an empty stadium rather than postpone the game.

Getting warmer at last. Today was lovely out on the porch.

Boiler is working fine now after a part was replaced. Green fields all around. A few Tulips are in bloom.

HUGS

Actually I graduated in 2013. Took me a while to find a job in my degree though. So many places want you to have a certain number of years of experience, and it is hard to find an opportunity to gain that experience.
