Notes
audience for Writing on Water - I could explain sailing and what I know to people that don't know sailing.
it occurred to me this morning while I was sitting in the meeting that I don't like basketball anymore. Ira was talking about perfectionism and he mentioned baseball. Baseball even the best don't get hits all the time. And I thought yeah, I could be more accepting, more Mike Trout. Can't hit a home run every at bat. And then I realized how much I don't like basketball at the pro level any more. everyone taking 4 steps. palming the ball. So much of it is about style points, where baseball - it's cut and dry. You're either in or out. Basketball - is it a foul? How are the refs calling the game - tight or loose? I used to love the 'vibe' aspect of it all, but it's sort of annoying now. I want something that's clear.
Same with tennis. No opinions - either in our out. You won or you didn't.
