The day was sunny but cool. Ernie kicked the leaves on the sidewalk as he walked home from the gym. Frowning, he kept replaying

His opponent had moved his team ahead, and Ernie’s team had fallen farther and farther behind after that. Not that Ernie was playing by then.

He resolved to practice doubly hard all week.
