Opening Day ... Delayed

The reason for coming home when I did last weekend was Yankee Baseball! Opening Day was scheduled for Thursday, April 7th but the rain postponed the home opener to Friday. And Friday turned out to be a beautiful day! I mentioned last week that my mom was sick so I would be staying with my Godmother, Vicky. As it turned out, my mom had Covid. She had what she thought was a cold, but she and Mike went for Covid tests just in case. She was feeling better when Mike got sick and then by Wednesday the Covid test came back positive. So that meant no opening day for momma. She was definitely more upset about missing opening day than she was feeling sick. Luckily my cousin Jimmy was available to pinch hit for her. It was a great game … it took 11 innings, but the Yankees beat the Red Sox to begin the season! I went to the game on Saturday with my friend Gina as well. (and the Yankees beat Boston again).

It was a rainy week, and pretty uneventful other than the ball games … but I did make it into the office on Wednesday. It was actually the first time this year I made it in. Of course the traffic to Jersey City was terrible!

This coming week I begin my new way of going to Yankee Games – bingeing baseball! Since I’ll only be home for one homestand this month I exchanged a bunch of games and will be going to every game this week while staying at a hotel in The Bronx.
