There is a moment.
Every time I build Ikea furniture, there is a moment of disaster.
Perhaps THEY forgot to give me a screw, or the design is OBVIOUSLY flawed, or sometimes that F#$%ing Allen Wrench just isn't doing the job.
That moment lasts a split second.
Then I realize that I'm actually the dumb one.
Because there's the extra screw right there, or that peg fits magically into that hole, or I needed a screwdriver and the directions said so right there.
That moment makes me question so many things about myself.
This time the moment passed quickly.

I remained calm and level headed.
And now I have two chairs.

“He understands that a big part of shooting is the shooter’s mind,” Kerr said, and a moment toward the end of Kerr’s career provided such an example. With Kerr playing reduced minutes in Portland as a 36-year-old during the 2001-02 campaign, he found himself struggling to stay loose for meaningful shooting opportunities. Kerr told Engelland about his problem and the shooting expert flew up and offered a solution: a 30-minute, seven-shot workout. Kerr and Engelland would sit alone on the bench in the Portland practice facility after everybody else had left. Engelland would ask Kerr to tell him what was going on with his kids or even leave him to read a newspaper. After a few minutes, Engelland would shout at Kerr to go, and the two would sprint off the bench and set Kerr up for a single 3-point attempt from the wing before returning to the bench. Repeat six more times and you’ve got the league’s most unlikely — and simultaneously most logical — shooting workout. A typical shooting coach, Kerr said, would have noted his struggles and told him to take 200 shots from a variety of spots to try to regain his physical rhythm. Instead, Engelland put himself in Kerr’s shoes to help refresh Kerr’s mental timing.
