One choice...

I was playing H-O-R-S-E (the basketball game) with little Luke a few days ago. I am not even sure he was winning.

Perhaps he was.

In any case, he turned to me at one point and informed me of the following:

"Daddy, you have only one choice remaining: Losing... or Failure."

Basketball aside, I've often suspected that my options in life have been along those lines too.
