In Heaven There Is No Beer

(That's why we drink it here.) Guess who had her very first polka-band practice this weekend! I did, I did! Plus, I discovered that 11211 magazine eventually published the piece I wrote about the Williamsburg Spelling Bee. Spoiler warning: it reveals the inspiration for the title of the quiz show. Turns out I called the piece "Brains On Parade: The Pleasure and Pain of Performance." Apparently, as I gradually forgot what I'd written, and that it would be published, my throbbing brain hung onto the "brain" theme with a pit bull grip.
