Well, it’s kind of like what they say about blind squirrels and nuts. Do something (anything?) a few hundred times, and you tend to get better at it. That’s the hope anyway…

Exactly. Same way I got the nick-name, Johnny Crabcakes. I worked at a large catering company that made hors douvres-sized crab cakes in batches of ~1800-2000. I lost count at 500,000 crab-cakes. I continued making them for another five years after I lost count. I figure I must have made over 1,000,000 before I left the company and moved on. The name stuck. I still make the crab-cakes. The wife and I named our company after them.
I’m salivating. But after making over a million, how can you not be sick them? Do you live near the Chesapeake Bay? We lived just outside DC in Bethesda for about 5 years a lonnnng time ago. Loved to go the eastern shore just on the other side of the Bay bridge for the crab feasts.

Had to look up “10,000 hour theory”. I’m kind of out of touch. Been meaning to read Gladwell’s books though.

That’s OK. You’re a poet. Reading too much of that stuff will kill you. 🙂
