I'm Kind of Intrigued to Apply

This is the kind of thing I have always wanted to enter (and win). I'm not an alum of Washington? So what? I spent a year living in Seattle -- I figure that's enough. "U-Dub," Huskies, lakes, tailgating in boats, Pacific Northwest, Don James...got it. Although I guess, as I think about it, I've wanted to write a fight song, not an alma mater, which always comes out like a dirge. -- D.S.
