Could have been a contender

What is good enough? Should we even be thinking about good enough? This Independence Day many have to think that, such as the Takeru Kobayashi’s world record breaking 53.5 hot dogs at the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest (and Sonya Thomas’ woman’s (and American) record of 36). Or Spiderman 2 or Farenheit 9/11’s box office records. Are we driven by regret, as suggested by ABC’s 20/20 piece on Marlon Brando’s acting career?

We should be thinking, “Could be a contender” rather than “Could have been a contender”.

The Amazing Race 5 starts again on Tuesday! 75,000 miles by 11 teams. I can’t wait! Happy 4th everyone.
