Two down. Had a splitting headache last night, so we were worried, but it went away by round time. Would normally be judging Maddie right now for taking a phone call from Stacia outside, but I can’t freak out about that. Whatever we’re doing, it’s working.
In the elevator just now, two eliminated dude debaters reeking of cologne got on, not even seeing me.
“Did you hear about Hanover’s pair?” one of them was saying.
“The girl with a Mohawk? And the one with the ass? Yeah, dude.”
“My money’s on Hartford.”
The doors opened.
As the doors closed, I called out, “You’re mistaken!” and flipped them off.
Watching Caddyshack with the sound off on the hotel TV, gargling with salt water. Trying to keep my mouth limber. I’m on edge but not nervous. I’m feeling blank but not scattered.
Third round’s tomorrow at ten a.m. When we win that, we go to the championship round.
