Win/Fail:
In our win/fail segment:
Peter failed by calling out of work because of a lack of sleep. FAIL. Gary and Sarah do support Peter in that we only want the best version of Peter at work.
Gary has a fatherly win. His son Ashton made varsity baseball as a Sophomore. He got into the game to pitch, faced one batter, and struck him out. Gary is proud of the confidence Ashton showed during that situation. WIN.
