American Gladiators

Tonight we went to Mercury Bar to watch an episode of American Gladiators. Why? Well, our friend Jessica was one of the 20 women — selected from a pool of 9,000 to compete.

While watching the show I kept thinking, "wow, Jessica just made some serious bank." Why else would she invite us to watch?  I know if I lost I would want to keep it under wraps.  Clearly Jessica and I are very different since she lost and decided to share it with everyone.  To her credit she handled it with a level of humility rarely seen.  I was really proud of her.  It got me thinking that perhaps I need to be a more humble and accepting of my own failures.
