S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G B-E-E

Does anyone remember the last time they were in a spelling bee? I was one with the YSA's at FHE on Mondee (the Utah way to say Monday). I didn't win but I did make it to the top 5, out of fifteen to twenty people. I misspelled aborigine. I had never actually written the word before, or really seen it written so that made a difference. It could've been worse. Somebody had to spell thoracic vertebrae and another Tchaikovsky. Fun stuff, I tell you. These guys can sure get creative, that's all I can say about that.
