Subject: RE: BS: The need to win
I once spelled "dictionary" correctly to win a spelling bee. I was in the fourth grade, I think, and I won a cupcake.

That was pretty much it.

Oh, yeah, I once won in the Publishers' Clearinghouse thing. Really.




































Fifty dollars, US, for being one of the first fifty people in Indiana to enter. Actually, my wife sent in the coupon so I didn't even know I'd entered until the check came. It was just enough to move me into a higher tax bracket that year.
