I guess it was inevitable, wasn’t it? It happened – I registered for the Dopey Challenge. Not that that makes me special. LOTS of people registered for Dopey. It was a very competitive registration year; every single event was gone within two hours. What makes it funny is that I really, genuinely, truly wasn’t sure I’d ever do it...
