Bicoastal debate: moving between S.F. and N.Y.: "One day, I happened upon a commencement speech by Anna Quindlen, a graduate of my New York college: 'You cannot be really first rate at your work if your work is all you are,' she said. 'Get a life. A real life, not a manic pursuit of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house. Do you think you'd care so very much about those things if you blew an aneurysm one afternoon or found a lump in your breast? Get a life in which you notice the smell of salt water pushing itself on a breeze over Seaside Heights, a life in which you stop and watch how a red-tailed hawk circles over the water or the way a baby scowls with concentration when she tries to pick up a Cheerio with her thumb and first finger.'"
