Fancy Jewels, Fancy Blog Awards and More to Tickle Your Fancy

Today in "5 Things" you get a wheelchair tennis champion, a theramin (see photo) and a couple of wise guys who always comment at the bottom of these Patch stories. Wait—what? They won awards?

1. What's the one sport people in wheelchairs can compete in evenly with able-bodied athletes? This world champion argues it's wheelchair tennis.
2. Two Mission Viejo Patch bloggers win awards from the Orange County Press Club.
3. Roller derby is different from the no-holds-barred '70s, one enthusiast proclaims in this video. But this South County league leaves you wondering—after full-contact, what's not allowed?
4. Dust off your jaw harp, theremin, dulcimer or fluba and play a tune. Wednesday is Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day.
   
5. The Bowers Museum is showcasing “Jewels of the Connoisseur,” an exhibit of rare gemstones and classic jewelry sets. 2002 N. Main St., Santa Ana.
6. (Bonus Thing) A Mission Viejo resident has decided the best thing to do with his long spike sea urchin is to give it away.
