My tips:

1) Do puzzles - find a good (preferably free) newspaper with a crossword, sudoku, and a jumble - or whatever puzzles you enjoy.  You can do them at lunch or on breaks or while watching TV.  I find them super addicting personally.

2) Keep a blog - even if it's private and no one else reads it, I find that blogging regularly is a good compositional exercise for those of us who have been out of school for a while.

3) Keep the spell checker turned on for iChat and Safari.  This helps me know whenever I'm spelling something wrong, so I'm not oblivious.

4) Actively learn new words.  You can keep a notepad or something and jot them down when you hear/read them.  I'm not a fan of arbitrarily learning new words, but if they come up in your reading or on TV or in your daily discourse, just write it down.  One word a day, or even one a week, is better than nothing.  If you keep it in a notepad you can revisit them regularly.  You might find that only a handful of them stick, but that is probably normal and much better than nothing.

you need to be fingered.
get a prostate exam as soon as possible.

If that doesn't work a barium enema will take your mind off the spelling bee, trust me.
