• But I have never had the privilege of unhappiness in Happy Valley. California is about the good life. So a bad life there seems so much worse than a bad life anywhere else. Quality is an obsession there—good food, good wine, good movies, music, weather, cars.

Some afternoons a person just wants to rent Die Hard, close the curtains, and have Cheerios for lunch.
