Spelling bee
For those of you with tvs, the Spelling Bee championship is going to start up again tomorrow. We ended today on Round 4, and there are 70 spellers left.
I was checking out the previous rounds, and some of the mistakes are inexcusable (eg 14 year old missing shazam, I hope he at least went out with a flourish) and some of the words didn't look like they were real words. Also, there are a lot of repeat kids from last year. I'm glad to see that little Samir Patel is back. He's the Texas kid that missed boudin last year, and lost in the second to last round. He's the only Texan left, so obviously, I've got to root for him.
