I was talking to Tony Hawk at a party a few months ago. (I know that’s name-dropping, but it happened, and it’s relevant.) I told him I suck at skateboarding, because I’m not 20 anymore. Hawk, 41, looked at me in disbelief as I uttered that excuse, staring at me past his midlife crow’s feet.
The room is silent as he stares at himself in the mirror. Instead of putting on his usual choice of a white T-shirt and tennis shoes, he is wearing a soldier’s uniform. Instead of carrying textbooks in his hands, he grasps a leather-bound folder. Inside is the key to his future.
