Disappointment

This post is just a reminder to myself to not put so much pride in one thing, that I become prideful (is that redundant?)
Bill and I went to watch the BYU/NMS basketball game tonight, and left at halftime.  We were really bummed out, but as the evening wore on, and the loss was inevitable, we talked a bit about whether or not we had a bit too much pride in our team.  I'm probably stretching it some, but I know that I have to be careful not to let myself get so caught up in the team, that I get depressed when they lose.  I know they lost so badly because of their one player being kicked off the team for an Honor Code violation.  I went to BYU and I know how important that Honor Code is.  It does make me sad that a player on a team can forget, for even just a fleeting moment what he signed when he started at the Y.
Life goes on, and the sun will come up tomorrow (Annie?) and we'll go about our usual business, even if it is with a bit of a frown on our faces.
