Special Report - 13 June

We won.

Usually people who say something like that are wearing numbered jerseys or something else that enables a referee to keep track of them. Usually it's said in a location upon which the involved parties converged voluntarily, knowing that a competition was about to begin. Usually people who say it have medals or trophies or wreaths to hold overhead, shining tangible proof of their achievements.

In this case, however, we are wearing Bill Cosby sweaters and scruffy t-shirts. We spend a lot of time in an old building in the Village, and competed only under extreme duress. We can wrap the material evidence of our success around a finger or give it a kiss, but no one will find that impressive because it's just a piece of paper with five signatures on it.

Still.

We won.
