That's where I was immune to the success. I'm very thankful for who I am. I know that the fame has interfered a bit, mainly taking away the time I need to do things that are 'in' me. But I got to have more of the full life I always imagined, including family and community respect. I got to do some things that I likely would have done anyway, like teach.
Business is for the sharks for the most part.
So I'm living in Mountain View, just moved here about 8 months ago. You being a Silicon Valley native, perhaps you could suggest some things to do. I really don't know anyone in the area, I'm not much of a party kind of person. I'm mainly just a Linux computer guy who came to the valley for the same reason everyone comes to the valley and then later realizing that the high pay doesn't amount to much since I'm paying unbelieve amount of money just to maintain my living. Well, you're actually close by.
