team building

just down the street from us, there is a ropes course in the woods. matt and i sometimes take advantage of the opportunity this provides for us to strengthen our ability to work together by attempting some of the low ropes activities. he is much better at it than i am, as matt has a very well-developed sense of balance, which i think is an inherent trait and he thinks is learned. he spent many years of his younger life riding unicycles while juggling so the question is: did he learn his ability to balance from all that time on the unicycle or did he spend all that time on the unicycle because he was able to balance the damn thing?
