<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I think back over the dozens of cities I’ve explored, the hundreds of experts I’ve gotten to learn from, the 1,260 thank you letters written and snail-mailed, the 28,000 miles logged to the airport and back,
and I know that old saying is true – when you do what you love, you never work a day in your life.
