Huh, that's strange...GR still just isn't quite right yet. I hope they get it all fixed soon! 😵😂
I remember reading that, as a child, Nathaniel Hawthorne was bedridden for nearly a year due to an injury. I don't recall if it was due to playing Cricket, though. I bet Dorothy is correct. I'll guess Hawthorne, too.🤔
Somehow I can't imagine Hawthorne playing cricket... 🤔🤣🤣🤣

Ok, before Emma starts pestering me again, here's your quiz question...I hope it's a good one! This NE author ate one rather unusual animal, but then decided it was a lousy" way to treat the said animal and never ate one again. Though that decision may also have been based on the "musky" flavor he described. Name the author and the animal.
