And I thought sports were time consuming...


As you all know, I have done my share of sitting, sitting, sitting at basketball games, football games, baseball games, soccer games, wrestling tournaments (my favorite)...but have you ever been to a Quiz Bowl tournament with 26 teams. WoW. We got to PHS around 8 am and finished up close to 2:30. Now at least at sporting events you can talk, get up and move around, munch...but at this type of tourney you had to stay in the room, keep your mouth shut (hardest for me SURPRISE!), and not eat a thing. This was Kraigs first attempt at something so BRAINY (besides his all A report card), but his team did very well. Hillsdale A came in 1st, Hillsdale B came in 3rd, and Hillsdale C came in 5th (Kraig's team). Hillsdale D got buried in the dust somewhere in the second round. I was really impressed with the questions and answers they came up with. I have never felt so "dumb" in my life. Where do they learn all that stuff? There sure is a lot of GREY MATTER in the heads of those DMS 6th graders! Great Job!
