Two Degrees of Separation
The oddest thing happened to me yesterday. Ham of Bone, at lunch, told me how his old roomie from an obscure college in New England known as the University of New Hampshire recently became the all-time champ of the video game Centipede.
And lo' and behold, on the drive home from work, who do I hear? That same ex-roomie on the 50,000 watt Cincinnati radio station WLW. The ex-roomie sounded very sober, very serious-minded as well someone who sets video game records should be. Sounded modest too - when asked the secret of his success he said hard work and trying to figure out what is going on with the game. I'm guessing lightning fast reflexes don't hurt? When it comes to nature vs. nurture, few say nature.
