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 suppose this isn't politically correct, but I think perhaps we protect kids a bit TOO much these days. Far better to enable them to make a few minor mistakes to learn from before they commit a catastrophic one.
Thanks very much, Renee. I was surprised to discover that you appear not to subscribe to my newsletter. Surprised because you always seem to respond so soon after I've posted!
This is hilarious. And quite well-written as well
Thanks, David, and especially appreciated as it comes from a wordsmith such as yourself. Does that mean you're going to subscribe?!
I intend to subscribe. And thanks for the compliment
I love reading great writing
Sports! Ugh. Agreed.

I am certain I'm subscribed as they land in my inbox. :)
I see what's happened. You are subscribed under a different name!
I forget that my email is under a different name! :) :) :)
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!
