It has been a bad, sad day, but I will whine tomorrow. I just got this little tidbit in my email, though, and it brings me silly pleasure. If you go to the Polanoid in the next twenty four hours, you will see my photo on the cover. Victory is all too brief.

p.s the only thing I ever win is the same lottery in my email everyday:)
Thanks all. It is a hoot, but you know how that goes. I submitted another today and will be as devastated as a child when I don't win. I DO have a child's ego.
ReplyDeleteRazz, I had to Google the Iron Chef. I don't think that show ever made it to where I live. I think of A.E Houseman:
"Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose."
Small victories, though, are easier to take.
