"I do a little fact checking now and then. Other than that its impact is simply that email has revolutionized communication for me, and my website has built up a community of readers, which is a lot of fun."

"I felt alienated by the experience and decided to stay away from corporate employment."

"I like food, like any other guy, but it is not the main thing in my life. I can do without it."

"I'm not really into gourmet food I'm the kind of guy who just stops by a place that looks good rather than heading for the restaurant of the moment."

"I love Italian food but that's too generic a term for what's available now: you have to narrow it down to Tuscan, Sicilian, and so on."
