Today we sold 10 pounds of lettuce to Old Soul Organics a local grocery distributor. An hour later, I was reading Oliver a story on the couch. The local NPR station was playing classical music in the background. Then I heard the familiar sound of the trivia quiz question music. Usually I only play the quiz of fridays during “Film score friday” because they give out two movie passes. But today I heard P.J. Robowski (the quirky KUAF announcer) say something about Old Soul Organics. Today they were giving away a 35 pound box of organic produce. This is a first for this radio station. Usually they give away crappy things during the week like a $10 gift certificate to one of the most expensive restaurants in town, or a $10 gift card to the university bookstore. I knew I had to have this. The question: What year was the peace sign invented? 1958, 1962, or 1966? Now, being the regular NPR All things considered listener that I am, I knew the answer. Maybe 3 weeks ago, possibly more, they did a story about how the peace sign was having its 50 year anniversary. So I call (ring ring) I answer, and when the music on the radio stops playing and they announce a winner they say: The winner is Amanda Wounderlich…..WOOOOOOOO!!!! Close enough! How about that! It’s the first time I’ve ever won anything on the radio. I’m so excited, so please be excited for me!
