…is that they have no respect for their elders!

Which is my tongue-in-cheek way of explaining why I lost to ADO National Youth Champion Dylan Andersen in the third round of cricket singles last night.  I hung with him though and actually played well enough to win, except that I didn’t.  As is her custom, Jee Yeun jokingly tells a victorious opponent “I don’t like you.  You beat my husband.”  Dylan responded “no I didn’t, he beat himself”.  True that.

It doesn’t matter how many great darts you throw (and I hit some big ones) if you don’t throw the winning dart.  And I didn’t.  But other than the fact that I lost I felt good about my overall performance.  I kept my head in the game, didn’t get flustered or intimidated, and gave a superior player all he could handle.  In the past I haven’t done any of those things, so I call that progress.

(Jee Yeun posted a video clip from the match on Facebook.  Not sure how to move it here.)
