Camerlenghi-Maier Interlude

The ever-reliable Professore and Mrs. Professore stopped by, fresh off a summer in Italia, the Hashemite Arab Kingdom of Jordan, and other points East. Nick, as is his custom, came bearing gifts.

Nick and Danny play with some of his childhood cars while Jessica demonstrates the proper use of a kaleidoscope to Leigh. Nick imparted this piece of wisdom, "Don't go looking for snakes in a Ferrari." Danny could not be convinced that a jeep was a more practical poisonous snake hunting vehicle.Nick complained of a "sports headache". I ridiculed him at length for using this euphemism for a [redacted]. A more careful history taking revealed it was probably a migraine, and review of the medical literature revealed that exercise-associated migraine is a recognized syndrome.
Jessica tends to her stricken mate while Danny plays on.
Nick had to get one more kaleidoscope session in before he gave it away.
