Although a decorated educator, the AI-X champion is apparently nearly incapable of navigating through the internetz even though Pre-K children are crawling around day care centers around the world with laptops strapped to their backs.
Herewith, then, an entry from the Reef (who doesn't want to win):
I first heard it from the great Robert Montgomery Knight: “Everybody has the will to win, it’s the will to prepare that counts”. And, largely I suppose because my mother told me every day that, “You don’t have to be like everybody else”, I have very little will to win. Ah, but the will to prepare? Herewith enclosed is a shot captured surreptitiously by intrepid paparazzi and noted snoop Kate Van Antwerp Holmes Reifsnyder. It is proof positive that the Champion of AI-X, despite a dusting of 16 inches of wind-driven snow, is in full “preparation” mode. Notice how still my lower body is.
