Jennie Dorris: Guess my award

Guess my award

I got some good news that I won an award from the Society of Professional Journalists. However, they won't tell me what the award is until the $60-a-seat banquet on May 19.

I received a specific email from the newspaper I work for informing me that they can't afford to send me to said banquet.

So I get to hope that somehow they'll send me the award in the mail. There's speculation that the award might be a plaque, which my friend Mary agreed is so much cooler than a trophy.

You enter these competitions about 17 years in advance, so I have no idea what stories I entered, what category I entered or frankly even if I was a journalist when the competition took place. But I'll look forward to hear if I did something right, and if that something right was carved into wood....

Maybe they, too, are having budget issues, so maybe it's a recycled bowling or eating contest trophy.

Wood, don't rub it in. We both know the eating trophy would go to you and the bowling trophy would go to Barry.

I'd be willing to challenge for that eating trophy...
