Know when to fold ’em

This isn't how I planned it would be.

Today is the NHL Trade Deadline.  It’s the day when each club, via its roster moves, proclaims whether they think they have a legitimate chance at reaching the prize or whether they’ll throw in the towel and try again next year.

About three weeks before each A1C test, I go through a similar exercise in my mind – I need to decide whether I need that little extra push to reach my goal, or whether I’ve already slipped too far and am resigned to falling short of my target yet again.
