.. . . somebody else. Bummer.
Oy, such a horse race it was. We were tied for points (they assign 5
points for first, 4 for second, etc., down to fourth place). TIED!
Fair Competition department broke the tie by toting up our scores for
the individual items (seems fair to me) and she won. Are you ready? By
THREE points! ROFL!! THREE points out of more than 1150! What a
hoot! I had 1153, she had 1156. Good on her!
I spoke at length with the building super after the announcement and he
seemed to be feeling awfully bad for me. And I told him, as I tell one
and all, I do this for laughs and in the grand scheme of things, one
more ribbon or medallion is way down on the list of Important Things.
Pretty high up on my list of same, though, is my little friend who had
the stem cell transplant at the U 5-6 weeks ago. Before that
transplant, he was on his way to becoming toast. The transplant was
wicked painful with nasty sides, but it took (if I understand things
correctly) and guess what! Now the little guy has HOPE! How good is
THAT!!
Me and my ribbons and medallions? B F D.
There's always next year, eh? I expect to have a lot of fun talking
about it on Wednesday when I do my radio gig.
