The difference one question makes

The trivia tournament was tonight, and we were in it all the way (you can tell the way the story is going already, can't you?). There was another really good team, as in practically perfect, ahead of us most of the way, but we were doing well so they weren't ahead by much, and toward the end they must have missed something because going into the final, we were ahead by one point!

We got the first final question right (turns out, so did they), but we didn't get the second question.

So we finished second, which really isn't bad.

Except.

The first place team gets $250.

Second place gets zero.

So it kind of sucks a little bit. We got so much right! I think we only got one other question wrong the whole game! Maybe two, maybe. They were really good, I fully give them that. But we weren't bad.

I must get to bed. But in closing, I give you this: I harvested something other than basil from the garden today. Can you believe it?


Doesn't it look just like a cucumber? (And there's another almost ready, too.) Yay for the pickling cukes!
