OMG! I've Got Spellulitis! (It's a disease of the spelling gene and it makes your head swell.) The honor of holding the first annual community spelling bee championship has its ups and downs. On the one hand, we can wallow in the glory for an entire year. On the other is the pressure of the REVENGE we will surely face in 2010.
Shall we gloat or should we hunker down and study the dictionary three hours a night for the next 364 days? Probably better to hunker down, but that won't last more than two or three days tops. Still, we must defend the title.
On Thanksgiving eve at Market Basket, I was stopped by a couple who said, “Congratulations! We are new in town and we were there. Next year we are going to form a team – so watch out!”
I say, “Bring it on!”
Many thanks to Main Street Concord for dreaming up this crazy lunatic activity for adults (nerds) only. The community participation far exceeded my expectations. It was well organized and the theme “FUN” was clearly achieved.
