Q: Come on, it's been a week -- who was the celebrity who showed up at your Denver signing?

--Kenny L., Boulder, CO

 

 

SG: The one, the only ... Pratyush Buddiga! You might remember him as the winner of the 2002 Spelling Bee (as well as one of the stars of my running diary of that event) -- he was the kid who destroyed everybody, outlasted The Hyperventilator and even spelled the word "oubliette," the fancy word that defines Buffalo Bill's pit in "Silence of the Lambs." PUT THE LOTION IN THE BASKET! Anyway, he's a high school student and budding sportswriter now -- he showed up with his father and brother (the 2003 runner-up), and we even ended up taking a picture (as you can see on the right). Good guy. And you wonder why I'm keeping this book tour going.
