Brags & Confessions

Kathleen is over Covid, and celebrated in Seattle last weekend at a Mariners game, art museum, and great food.

Woody's family home sold, and his dad was inducted in the Hall of Fame at the high school he served for 45 years.

Robin praised the PUD for working all night to fix a water main break by her home.  She is also having another doctor appointment to see if they can figure  out her esophagus.
