High School Latin to the Rescue
When I came home from tennis yesterday about noon, Connie asked, “Have a good game?”
I found myself saying, “I got up. I went. I played.” I guess I was echoing and mocking the “Veni, vidi, vici” (WENN-ee, WEED-ee, WEEK-ee) reportedly written by Julius Caesar in 47 B.C.E.
However, Caesar said, “I came, I saw, I conquered,” and I the opposite in the least painful way I could manage to utter it.

I like to imagine you and Connie, the wonderful relationship you have and that at your tender age of 18, you are still playing tennis. Lots of Love, Annabelle
