Thanks, David, and especially appreciated as it comes from a wordsmith such as yourself. Does that mean you're going to subscribe?!

Sports! Ugh. Agreed.

I stand resolute on the idea that it was better back in the day before technology took over every aspect of our lives. The youth now don't get to experience a sprint with a belly full of beans on toast and tea. Now that is glorious!

I sent you an email to that address, through Substack. Did you receive it? Just wondering if those emails work

Yes! I have been so ill for a solid week and receiving that email lifted my spirits. Thank you very much, Terry!
