On Tuesday morning, I rode the elevator with my head raised high—and this awesome trophy in my arms. For those who don't know, in addition to making killer magazines, we at Hammock also have a knack for spelling.

In fact, we're the 2007 champions of the Nashville Adult Literacy Council Corporate Spelling Bee. Oh yeah, and the 2005 champions of the Nashville Adult Literacy Council Corporate Spelling Bee. (Don't ask about 2006.)

I used to regularly participate in the spelling bee, but now that I'm a board member for the NALC, I spend my time doing things like helping draft a three-year strategic plan for the organization so we can win more grants.

No, definitely not as exciting as being a spelling bee champion, but so much more important, don't you think?
