I was recently interviewed by a reporter for a profile story in the Oakland Tribune. That story came out today and I'm very happy to say the reporter did a great job... I say this partially out of relief that he left out some of the more embarrassing things I must've said. But I also appreciate the effort he made in his own research, such as reading up on N.C. Wyeth, who I mentioned at one point as being one of my heroes. I also mentioned the
Totoro Forest Project which he then followed up on. Thanks Paul!

So what kind of embarrassing things did I say during the interview that he mercifully left out? I think it was somewhere during the "Life is very short" discussion. I can't remember what I said, but I'm glad it wasn't this:

I'm
very lucky to have a wife who is supportive, yet keeps me grounded at the same time.
