The back story: I don't ever win anything. Literally. You can gift me with 40 lottery tickets and I won't even win a free ticket. Guaranteed. You can give 2 to my wife and she will likely win something. Some people, I have decided have the "win" gene or the luck of the Irish or whatever. I don't mind. I am lucky in other ways. I invariably meet nice and interesting people when travelling or when i need that magical special bit of help, someone seems to be there with it. But win prizes?? Not me.
Except that last week I DID! I entered a raffle put on by my friend Loree Burns who is also an amazing author. I won an autographed copy of her book Tracking Trash, Flotsam, Jetsam and the Science of Ocean Motion. This is a sreadable, entertaining and approachable science book for kids. Her writing style is delightful and not the least bit dry. There are cool photographs. My kids are so excited about this book---but I have told them they have to wait till I finish reading it. LOL
And for anyone who wasn't lucky enough to win a copy, you can get yours on Amazon. It's worth it. Really!

I don't 'win' that many contests I enter, but when I do, it's usually something "BIG". I don't really worry that much about it though.
Congrats on YOUR win!
Whoo hoo you won something! I started winning stuff last year, and now I can't say anymore that I never win anything.
