[Fictionary] BOOLEYING results

HI, All, Congrats to Fran and JJ, And Fran let me know if you do Not want to be It, ASAP, so I can plan--busy summer coming up--lots of family things.  JJ, I forget--what happens at Jukola and where is it???  I understand about finishing being the goal, as my son Adrian and his wife Allison sometimes have entered a 10,000-strong ski race in either Norway or Sweden and it's the same--the journey is the goal.  .Birkebeiner???   Or maybe it's running--anyway, it is too exhausting to even contemplate.  But our son Jon has entered and often won Adventure Races in various places that often take days to complete.  He and friends actually climbed Mt. Shasta in 24 hours! Including an hour nap for altitude sickness treatment.   LInda  As for cricket, I was reading the Grantchester mysteries by James Runcie and cricket figures in them a lot.  As for the interferences, our son Greg used to construct golf or croquet courses for himself and friends or party goers on our front lawn or running into the front field with hay bales, old junk, trees, bushes, and other hazards and a wiggly mown path --very funny. His silly golf course was named Tangleweeds.  It was his therapy while he was recovering from elbow surgery in HS, as was playing the guitar. Can't keep up with the younger set.  Yikes! My twins turn 50 soon!

We've got a tie on points between Fran and Linda, but since one of Linda's votes came from Fran, I'll use that as a tiebreaker and arbitrarily pass the torch to Fran, if she wants it.  And since nobody asked, my team came in 1468th at Jukola (we did finish, which is more than you can say for some teams!).
