Excellence

I keep obsessing about this video.

Various academic research has come up with the figure of about 10,000 hours of practice to become a master in a field. If that bricks-on-head guy in the video isn't one of the best ever at moving bricks on his head, I want to see the one who is better! And, I assume this means that the guy has done this for, at least, 10,000 hours of his life. Wow. I assume he isn't paid much for his labor. Yet, he is world class at the task! Where is the Ed Sullivan show when you need it?

That is an amazing video, isn't it? Ellen showed it on her show the same day she showed that cat riding the robot vacuum. (Only telling you that, 'cause I don't think you have a TV in the Hilo house.)
