As the Everett Grays play in the city of the first known case of
community spread coronavirus we will be looking at playing in its
spring training facilities . . . or do we do this next IBL season?

(This is not a statement of intent to enter the stadium draft)

I have been waking up every morning at 4 AM feeling anxious and
questioning if I have a fever. So far, so good. It is unfortunate that
this outbreak coincides with allergy season. I am finishing up work
for the day in a moment and will then sleep for a long time to try to
shed myself of some of my stress.

Living in the Seattle area is not that fun at the present moment.

Stay safe and healthy. Looking forward to IBL distractions.

Best,
Patrick
