All right, so the 10th Anniversary Vermont Summer Classic WIFFLE Ball Tournament at Little Fenway has been postponed until September 11-12, and renamed the 9 1/2th (yeah, so what about the grammar?). This virus thing has put a real crimp in everything, no doubt. So, what? Weβre gonna stop having fun? Ahh, weβll go with βNO!!β on that one!
Fun is what gets taken away every time someone is diagnosed with T1D. Fun is what we give back to those who had it taken from them. Fun is who we are and what we do!
So, if virtual fun is what we gotta do, then virtual fun itβll be!
