Listen to the expert

Yesterday, as I was riding the Canyons cabriolet after an afternoon spent skiing in some welcome new snow, I was sharing my ride down with two other men in their late 60s. One of them was definitely more talkative than the other and was complaining that he wasn't able to make his satellite TV work at the condo he was staying in.

He couldn't refrain from adding “I'm a heart surgeon and if I can't understand that, who can?” That pretty arrogant phrase was a sad give-away that, at such an advanced age, the man had not yet understood the virtues of humility and also that technology never misses a chance to play tricks on the very best of us!
