Welcome to the weekend. The weather here is getting warmer. Baseball season is just three weeks away. I am ready for real games to start. While it's been fun watching spring training games it's no substitute for the real thing. Plus fans will be allowed back in ballparks this season though in most cities in only limited capacity. Personally, I think this is a smart move until we get more folks vaccinated and the number of COVID cases continue to decline. It will be nice having fans back as the energy is not the same when there is no one in the ballpark. In the meantime here are some links of interest for your weekend reading.
