I really wish my cable system offered ESPN Classic as a free channel right now. They’re running the National Spelling Bees from 1996 through 1999 in chronological order today.

So why is this such a big deal to me? Well, for those who don’t know, I participated in the 1997 National Spelling Bee– as contestant number 38, naturally. (Yes, that’s where the 38 in Zone38 came from…)

Woohoo. I just got the call that my name was drawn for the Jeopardy! college tournament tryouts in Houston. Yay. I can’t wait– maybe I’ll make it onto the show this year… ::crosses fingers::
