This frees one up for striving to being able to hover around the level of average. A sideways trajectory.


Reworking the mindset to keep failing, until we accidentally no longer fail. Maybe. Or maybe not. But with time left over to watch the whole LCD Soundsystem movie. From start to finish. Shut up and play the hits.

Like a sassy little crab, we hope to just scuttle along sideways. At the beach!

What if we just worked really hard on being mediocre? Which would probably mean only working…


But you know, we had just as much fun on our forest walk as we did on the practice field. This has been the mystery of my lifetime in agility. So many maybes, that don't answer why.

Sort of like how the Sex Pistols ended up as grocery store music.

There's lots of things in life like that. Some people are good at taking a Why, and finding answers that don't have maybes. That are whole sentences, that answer in specific instructions and articulate reasons.

Didn't go there because I set out that way. Sorta lost, but not really. Worked out just fine. Maybe not everyone is supposed to have goals or success. Did Johnny Rotten ever think I'd hear him in the produce section, picking up some bananas? Maybe that's what my agility vision quest is supposed to be. I won't even try to find a why to answer that.

And, you know. Nothin' wrong with hearing the Sex Pistols in the grocery store. Sorry about that, Sid Vicious. I'm happy that I made it this far.
