Contest season can get intense, and confusing, when you belong to clubs in
more than one District.  One of my Districts is doing Tall Tales and the
other is doing Evaluation.  I entered both contests in each of my clubs.  At
the first one, I won Evaluation but didn't place with my International
speech.  At the second one, I won Tall Tales, and placed second out of two
with my International speech.  The person who won International in my first
club deserved to do so.  However, I didn't think the speech that placed
second was as good as mine, and I felt the same about the speech that beat
mine at the second club.  I am now working on a new International speech for
my third club.  I've been given a reprieve, for which I'm very glad.  I'm
recovering from bronchitis which followed a nasty bout of flu.  The contest
in my third club was supposed to be last night, but because of an event at
the meeting place, there wasn't even a meeting last night.  That means I
have another week to polish my new speech and gain strength to be able to
compete.
