This is the *NEW* spelling bee that happens at the Someday Lounge once a month on the 1st Tuesday. Every time you spell a word right, you get a can of Tecate. There were 10 spellers. I was in the top 5 when I got out. Robert got 2nd place. The guy who won spelled bildungsroman without blinking.

Norton won! Norton is great. I could have chosen pomfret, which sounded like pommes frites, but it’s a fish not a fry.

3. flummox (I spelled it wrong)
Lovely evening with the Robert. Hot cider in the lounge. I taught a guy that Seatac is a portmanteau of Seattle and Tacoma, which he had never realized. Someone had to spell OHMAGODITS cabotage. When I spelled flummox, I had a picture of the ‘m’ taking up a lot of space, but I couldn’t figure out if that was because it was an important part of the word, or because there were 2 m’s. I chose poorly.
