Lucas: Big Problems

By Adam Lucas

ATLANTA—Apologies in advance for not making this about basketball.

Carolina lost to Georgia Tech, 72-67, on Wednesday night. Maybe you want to wallow in that, and if so, there will be plenty of places on the internet to do that. There's no disputing that the Tar Heels have some problems right now.

Those are basketball problems. But perhaps you might appreciate a window into some real world problems. If you're young enough, here's hoping you've never really had to balance a serious problem with your "regular" life. That's the very best kind of ignorance, that phase of your life before you realize that your loved ones aren't immortal.
