“You know, I used to buy Catch 22 for a lot of people because I just thought if you hadn't read it, you had to, but maybe that era is over. You know, is there anything else I've bought cookbooks by other people. I've bought Marcella Hazan books for people and Juli Sani books for people because those are the best, I think, basic Italian and Indian books, respectively. Maybe I don't buy a lot of them. Like I said, I think it's mostly one-offs, so I'll see something. I think someone I know will like and just send it.”

“I don't, you know, I... I have bought, I was going to say, I buy one offs. I see a book someone will like and I buy that. I have bought. Bird by bird by Annie Lamotte for a number of people who've told me that they were struggling with writing because I think it's a really great writing book and it's a good read. Fantastic.”

“kind of daily when it's going well the kind of daily high of just putting your head in a different place and getting tired and feeling good about the way your body feels. That's, you know, when I listen to those things, that's a lot. You can't get that out of a lot. I mean, you can get it out of any daily exercise where it feels like you make progress, I guess. But that for me, because I was competitive with myself or even with where I would be in a given year. I mean, I'm never going to break any of my older personal records, but just to like make progress, it's just something very rewarding about it.”

“started when I was in my 20s I started as a way to stop smoking cigarettes which worked and you know I have gotten so much out of running you know besides general I think overall fitness I was a terrible I was like the slowest kid in my group of boys when I was growing up I was almost always the last or second to last one chosen when we were playing games I was a terrible athlete, the worst runner. And when I started running as a hobby and I realized I was never obviously never going to be among the fastest people, but I had great endurance. I really enjoyed it. I could get into this spacey head place that I really liked. And I just kept running longer and longer distances. I've run a bunch of marathons. And I think...

“It is sort of this quiet passion, but I happen to have turned it into a career. So we'll let that go. You know, I guess running. I guess it would be running because I did used to write a little bit about running. You know, it's funny I'm in a down sort of a Down moment in my running life, but I've had those before. Thing to note that at this point I think it's 45 years I've been running so even if I'm not running and I see other people run it just stimulates my thinking about it”
