...years ago and it was clearly the worst thing that ever happened to me. I decided to keep a gratitude journal and every night I wrote down what I was grateful for. It's really hard to do when you've just lost your mother, but there was stuff every day. There was a really good bagel or there was a hug from one of my kids. There was something every day. It really shifts your thinking in a healthier...
...mechanism for making it happen was my original idea. I guess I would say it was a reasonably straight-forward idea, the idea of person to person betting - there's a lot of person to person stuff going on - and I guess it was fairly easy for anyone to identify that if you could create a person to person business on the web, and you could crack that particular space, you had a big hit on your hands.

The big carriers have taken $15 billion in costs out since 2001 but are paying $17 billion more for fuel...
...specialist at Morgan Stanley, but after about a year I began to fear that I would die an obscure death and I started writing book reviews. Eventually I did an MFA, then moved to New York and resumed writing journalism and started n+1. In a way, all the stuff I did was very helpful in terms of putting myself in a position to publish the book and in terms of teaching me some things about writing. The downside is that it took me a very long time to finish the book.THC: Do you regret taking all that time...
