Ive noticed (reluctantly) that the older I get, the more athletic ability I lose. However, I have also noticed that Ive acquired new skills that better fit my situation in life. For instance, as a guy who drives a lot and frequently listens to the radio, the speed and accuracy with which I can change the channel when a Flo commercial comes on is fairly impressive. The other day I executed the equivalent of a trick shot. I was standing outside of my truck - door closed, window open. Flo comes on and in one fluid motion I shot my arm through the window and then through the steering wheel while using my forearm to nudge the wheel just enough for me to reach the #1 pre-set. Even more impressive to me - though not as flashy - was the move I executed this morning. I was listening to sports talk when Flo attacked. I immediately went to the other sports talk, where she was waiting for me. At this point, my 3rd option would be the classic rock station. However, in that split second I recognized there was a high probability that classic rock would also be on commercial break. I immediately checked down to NPR. The veteran knows you cant always go for broke... Sometimes you have to take what the defense gives you. This is how you win championships people.
