August 25, 2020. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Risk.

Son David was invited to spend the summer at the cottage with Uncle Ken, the first year my brother in law retired. He flew to Buffalo and was driven by Dave and Irene to the lake. In some ways at the cottage Carol was strict. If you were a child you must either pass a swimmimng test or wear a life vest if you wanted to go in the water orbe on the dock. In other things she was lenient. As long as the children were at home, they could stay up until the board games were over, which often went to small hoiurs in the morning. Marion and Gary stayed in the adjacent cottage and they were always willing to play games. So David played hundreds of games of Risk that summer. Gary always won. So at our 50th anniversary held in Nova Scotia, David wanted to play a game of Risk with Gary. David figured that Gary was older and David had two degrees and was running a successful business. David thouight for asure as he was also older, Gary should no longer win. One evening, a group played Rist in the garage. The game went on a long time. And they had a lot of fun. But Gary still won. David could not believe it. Gary remains the champion of Risk. Too funny.
