The volleyball theme triggered me a bit! I am one of the many 70s kids who wasn't athletic, and suffered in PE class for it. But one of two of my shining moments in PE was volleyball, serving the ball [just] over the net three times and watching the other team just stand there, as they were sure every time that I wouldn't make it. And we won by the margin I provided. !!! Never happened again. Thank you for letting me relive my short-lived triumph!

Love you Deb. Your tone in Wordplay kept me here, as my skills increased. You got me through marital infidelity. Covid. Deaths. One of my lifelines is this silly puzzle every day. Now I think I’m a lifer! Best wishes for your next puzzle. I don’t think they ever stop!

Perhaps I am splitting hairs here… 🙄 I believe alpacas produce fibre (or fiber) not wool. Suitable distinction for a Friday?
