I’ve always enjoyed winning awards, even though the plaque, trophy and/or certificate I win often gets buried under other stuff the minute I get home.

This was true for me during the recent Tennessee Press Association awards banquet where I was conferred the best humor column award.“And the winner of first place in the Best Humor Column category for the state of Tennessee,” the presenter said, building anticipation.
