Corn Flakes: Duck Racing Champ, Darius Luff Day, and Volleyball and Baseball Commitments

This weekend I had my 20 year class reunion. It was a fun time even though we didn’t even have half of our twenty total graduates show up.

There is a fundraiser that my hometown does, it’s a duck race. Basically, they sell a bunch of rubber ducks for $1 each. They do several heats of one hundred. Then they race the ducks with a fire hose. They auction off the top three ducks from each heat to race in the “Calcutta”. They get auctioned off for quite a bit of money. Then the top of the “Calcutta” gets a portion of the overall money.

One of my classmates suggested that we go in all together to buy a couple ducks and try our luck. Not everyone was up for it, but a few of us agreed and we ended up winning it all!

So now I will hold the title of Duck Race Champion with pride.

Here are your flakes.
