Young men see life in terms of high peaks and deep valleys. Maturity tends to level the graph, with the peaks and valleys made more plain by experience. The highs aren't as intoxicating, but neither are the depths as devastating.
Since he turned 30, Jeff Gordon seems to have lingered somewhere between youth and maturity, but the maturity comes forward when Gordon looks back at 2005, the worst season since his 1993 rookie year, at least by his standards.
