check it out!

The 2008 Scripps National Spelling Bee is coming to an exciting finish! Well, I'm guessing it's exciting...don't know for sure because we still don't have TV. My favorite, Matthew Evans, dropped out in the 6th round. =( But there's still one homeschooler left! Tia Thomas from California. So I'll be rooting for her and checking results frequently tonight.

I'm such a spelling bee geek. man, I wish we had TV so I could watch it.

btw, if you go to ABC.com and click on the link to the National Spelling Bee, in the second promotional video there's a shot of my hands. You'll recognize it by my ring. :P Pretty sweet.

edit: ok, excitement's over. Sameer Mishra from Indiana is the 2008 National Spelling Bee champ. Tia Thomas got 3rd place.
