Winning $ Losing

Fred: Did you win last Saturday? Did you win today? I was studying for my PhD. and couldn't attend.

Answerman: Our team won today but lost a close one last Saturday.

Fred: What was the psychological difference between the victory and the loss?

Answerman: Well Fred, not much. The food was good, the weather was great and a lot of kids had best times both days so the psychological impact of the loss was not long felt. As you know Fred, a bad day at the pool is better than a good day in most of the world.

Monique: That will be my thought for the days ahead. It will help me make sense of it all.

Answerman: Happy to help Monique.
