We don't limit ourselves by normal convention. We were waiting for the next big pizza chain to deliver an artichoke heart pizza in 20 or 25 minutes, and it wasn't coming. Finally, we thought maybe we should do it.

Up here in Seattle . . . you can walk into a mom-and-pop place and get a great pizza, but everyone in there has purple hair and nose rings.

Gourmet right away is our trademark slogan.

And I don't cook, either. Not as long as they still deliver pizza.

It's so far, so good. The next big thing is waiting for late April or early May to have calves born.

I don't want to wait anymore. I choose to believe that there is nothing more sacred or profound than this day.I choose to believe that there may be a thousand big moments embedded in this day, waiting to be discovered like tiny shards of gold. The big moments are the daily, tiny moments of courage and forgiveness and hope that we grad onto and extend to one another. That's the drama of life, swirling all around us, and generally I don't see it, because I'm too busy waiting to become whatever it is I think I'm about to become. The big moments are in every hour, every conversation, every meal, every meeting.
