Winning and Losing

As I was making coffee this morning, my 14 year old came up and gave me a high 5.  The Avalanche won last night, so joy abounds in our house today!  She’ll probably still be giving high 5’s this evening because the thrill of victory lasts quite a bit longer than the agony of defeat.  Since this is a down year for the Avalanche, the agony has outnumbered the thrills, but since the thrills linger longer, it’s pretty much a wash.  I’d hate to see the mood in our house if the Avalanche were basement dwellers in the hockey standings.  But then again, I’m not sure I could handle the excitement if they were on track to win the Stanley Cup!  This win some, lose some season seems just about right!
