One of those Saturday nights I caught part of a car show called Top Gear. I am not a car guy, but I enjoyed the way the 3 hosts interacted and the humor. It was basically 3 middle aged guys acting like guys would act together. They made fun of the cars, themselves and each other. They gave themselves ridiculous challenges and were forced to modify their cars in crazy ways.
Over the years the show evolved from a weekly show on BBC to a few times a year epic special on Amazon Prime. Why they changed networks is a whole other story for another post.
Friday they released their last show after 22 years of working together. They are moving on because they are getting old and they really don't have much more story to tell. They are also not interested in doing review of electric cars because they are "boring washing machines" on wheels-no argument there. I am not going to recap the show, but it was a great job of honoring some of their past adventures while not just ending up a fan-service cut show.
What did make me think is one of the hosts made the remark after sliding on the sand that it might be the last time he is ever doing a power slide on TV. He said that everyone does things for the last time without knowing it and isn't able to appreciate it because they don't know its the last time. And he's right.
Take the time to appreciate the things you love to do when you do them. And keep doing them as long as you can. You don't know when you won't be your last time.
