Woohoo! A 14-year-old kid from South Bend, Indiana won the National Spelling Bee this year. Give it up for the local boy!
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Yeah, I watched it. It was so funny how, AFTER HE FAINTED, he gets back up and, without missing a beat, spells the word correctly!!!! That’s dedication to your “art”.
i didn’t realize he was from The Bend! i heard him breathlessly spelling the winning word (so Spellbound worthy!) on NPR but it looks like it wasn’t the winner who fainted. now that would have been a hollywood ending!
hey kris, did i tell you dan and i finally watched spellbound? we liked it so much and kept it for so long that blockbuster finally charged us for it and we OWN it now. ha!
