‘To be a good loser takes practice.’ And I don’t intend to practice.
–Ernest Hemmingway

Gotta love it when you have that competitive spirit. I’m a bit competitive myself, and while I’ve learned to enjoy playing basketball for the fun of it — I still love to win.

In fact, just last week I was shooting hoops at a local park and got in a pick up game. One kid started talking trash to me, said I was out of shape. He was right. But he wasn’t good enough to back it up. So my team routed his team. The first game wasn’t close, 11-7, and the second game we shut them out 6-0 before they scored.

Someday I’ll have to just take that kind of abuse. But not today!
