Spelling Bee



The 1st National Spelling Bee was held 86 years ago today -  May 25, 1925.

We're big fans of the Spelling Bee at our house.  At least a couple of us (former school Spelling Bee participants ourselves - and one middle school spelling bee champ, yay!), will be watching with rapt attention when the Bee airs on television next week. 

We loved the movies Spellbound, Akeelah and the Bee and the musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, too.

Plus, I have a kind of secret crush on pronouncer Dr. Jacques Bailey.  What can I say?  I find intellect attractive.
