The anniversary of D-day tomorrow reminds me that early in the war my high school in England was closed for a week for repairs after it had been hit by bombs from German planes during the night. I think of that week, when students at every other school in England labored on as usual, while I lay in bed, as my happiest experience of the entire war.

We didn’t have the war in my day, but we did have fires. My boarding school, or the part that I lived in, burnt down in the middle of the night because of someone’s over-performing toaster. Not mine, I swear!
I got a new guitar out of it––much better than the old one! Sadly, it didn’t help my musical career, but glad to see your chosen one is still flourishing.
