And the Winners Are.../そして優勝は...

I think I forgot to mention that there was also a costume contest as part of 80s night...everyone who went and wasn't dressed up put their vote in a bucket and this morning after worship they announced the winner...there was a tie for 2nd place between Leon/Flavor Flav who had the giant clock around his neck and Olivia Newton John and her aerobics baby!! That's right...Anna heard Olivia tied for second and exclaimed in a stunned voice..."that's me!" and Anna and Madison went up to collect their prize...a coffin with a frankenstein and candy...my type of coffin!
昨日書くの忘れてたんだけど８０年代パーティーでは仮装コンテストもあって、パーティーに来たけど変装しなかった人達が一番いい格好をしている人に投票。今日の朝ミサが終わった後優勝者を発表...２位に来たのは２人(リオンとオリビアとエアロビックス赤ちゃん)!!その通り...杏奈がオリビアって聞くなり”それ私!!”って：）マディソンを連れて２等賞を貰いにステージへ...賞品の棺の中に入っていたのはフランケンシュタインの人形とおかし！

Then came the announcement we had all been waiting for...the grand champion...in what our host described as a landslide...the winner was...Richard Simmons!!! Like any nominee for an award I had thought about my acceptance walk and gave a hearty leg kick and jumping jacks that would have made Richard proud...my reward however would not have made him proud...it was a gigantic basket filled with all the best junk food the 80s had to offer...Twinkies...Yodels...Ding Dongs...Jujy Fruits...Pringles...Cracker Jacks...Coke in tiny glass bottles and numerous other goodies!
そしてとうとう待っていた１等賞の発表が...圧倒的な投票が入ったらしい優勝者は...リチャード
シモンズ!!!　計画通り体操をしながら賞品を受け取りにいったデイブ、リチャードも誇らしいでしょう...大きなバスケットの中にはもちろん８０年代に出て来たお菓子の数々！
Much of the credit must go to my lovely wife who did all the shopping for our costumes, but none of the spoils...those are all mine :-)
でも感謝しなきゃいけないのは妻の杏奈...衣装を用意してくれたからね...でもお菓子は全部僕の！
