    55 years! Congratulations to your grandparents! So sorry to hear about your migraines. (Auras are handy for letting you know to take meds!)

    Nice to see you! This was a fun reading catch up. I’m sorry to hear about your occasional migraines. I get something similar, like a sinus migraine, every once in awhile. They just shut everything down, don’t they? Dastardly. 😊

      They leave me completely wasted, unable to lift my head from the pillow for more than a minute!

    Hello mother, hello father
    Here I am at Camp Granada
    Camp is very entertaining
    And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining
    I went hiking with Joe Spivey
    He developed poison ivy
    You remember Lennard Skinard
    He got ptomain poisoning last night after dinner
    All the counselors hate the waiters
    And the lake has alligators
    And the head coach wants no sissies
    So he reads to us from something called 'Ulysses'
    No, I don't want this should scare ya
    But my bunkmate has malaria
    You remember Jeffrey Hardy
    They're about to organize a searching party
    Take me home, oh mother, father
    Take me home, I hate Granada
    Don't leave me out in the forest
    Where I might get eaten by a bear
    Take me home, I promise I will not make noise
    Or mess the house with other boys
    Oh, please don't make me stay
    I've been here one whole day
    Dearest father, darling mother
    How's my precious little brother
    Let me come home if you miss me
    I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me
    Wait a minute, it stopped hailing
    Guys are swimming, guys are sailing
    Playing baseball, gee that's better
    Mother, father, kindly disregard this letter

    Re: sports writing. Are there any decent reads about snooker? I seem to be in a YT spiral of watching championship snooker.

      I also love Snooker! But I can’t say I’ve ever read any compelling books on the subject
