Lisa, I think you know him well! But in this instance he wouldn't be able to do this....because I know that he doesn't have any idea HOW to change a tire

It does give me a little bit of smugness. Very soon I will not be able to keep up with him. I struggle even now. He has a lot of up potential and I don't have much. So I'll hang on to this.
