They said follow your dreams. So I went back to bed.

 When you get up about 2 hours before sunrise, that is not a terrible start to the day.  Oh well, before I go off to do laps around a giant gas bag in a park, this little gemstone will shine for you.

I do seem to remember that in grade school we had things called Spelling Bees.  I can't say I won them.  I tended to spell in British English, and we were quite firmly, in the US.  South New Jersey where we said "wudder" when we wanted a cool drink.



After a long illness a woman dies

She finds herself at the golden gates, heartbroken to have left her husband behind.
St. Peter notices & informs her it will be many years before his time. she sadly agrees to enter heaven alone.
St. Peter admits he gets bored at his job so sometimes makes up games for admittance.
"Today is a spelling bee, to enter heaven spell angel". she does so & enters.

Decades later St. peter asks her to fill in for him at the gate for the day.
Lo & behold her husband arrives!
She cries over him, "oh darling i hope you didn't suffer the rest of your life grieving over me!"
"Far from it", he replies, "turns out your beautiful young nurse had the hots for me, so we quickly married, then she came into an inheritance & we traveled the world & retired on the riviera. but it's nice to see you. how do i get in?"

"Well there's a spelling test"
"Ok what's the word?"
"Czechoslovakia".
