Second Place

It's close. Close enough to taste it.

We are still proud of people who win the Silver Medal at the Olympics. They get endorsement deals and media coverage too.

Second place in a pageant will get you a special title (runner-up) with special duties (in the event the winner cannot fulfill her duties...).

I've been feeling a lot of "second place" lately. And its hard to explain.

It's not exactly losing. But it sure isn't winning, is it?
