Keeping Up Appearances:
There are a few things that I can
do well. And there are many things that I really can’t do with any amount of
skill or expertise. Then there are a number of things that I really stink at,
but I look good doing them. I play a good deal of golf, sometimes 3 or more
times a week. If the truth be known, I’m not great, but I really look gooood
doing it. My playing partners will tell me something like, “You sliced it way
right into the trees.” To which I’ll reply, “Yeah, but how did I look on my
follow through?” Then they will all hold up cards ranging from 1 through 10. I
figure that at my age and flexibility, an 8.5 is good.
Years ago,
Avon and I were bowling, and of course I was putting more style than English
into my delivery. A woman from the far end of the bowling alley came walking
our way. She came up behind our score table, brazenly craned her neck to see
the sheet, then stood up and said, “Humph! I thought he was a lot better than
that.” I was thrilled with that. My motto has always been, You’re only as good
as you’re perceived to be.
“Life
is much too important to be taken seriously.”
