I can’t believe the kid from India almost misspelled “darjeeling”

That’s what I’m thinking as I watch SPELLBOUND, the documentary on the National Spelling Bee.

Of course, this kid’s grandfather also has 1,000 praying for him in India.  If he wins, his grandfather will feed 5,000 poor people.

…….he just lost on ‘hellebore’

that’s a shame

8 spellers left.  this is more tense than learning the results of an operation or whether an opening goes well.

I have to remember this documentary when I’m trying to capture suspense on stage.

Ok, it’s down to 3 spellers.  Gotta go.
