Here’s to you, Mr. Jobs.
“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”

Steve Jobs said in a commencement speech at Stanford in June 2005, almost a year after he was diagnosed with cancer.
“At Old Orchard Beach, Maine, I got the reputation of eating more hot dogs than any man in America. A Mrs. Wagner there makes a toasted bun that’s the best of its kind in America. She has a toasted bun, then a slice of onion, then a hamburger, then a tomato, then melted cheese, then another hamburger, then a slice of onion, more cheese, more tomato, and then the other side of the bun. Her hot dogs have two dogs to a bun. I ate thirty-two one night. She has very fine baked beans. When I eat with Mrs. Wagner, I begin with ham and eggs for an appetizer, then the baked beans, then fried chicken, then a steak—her steaks are two inches thick—and then a dessert of applesauce, ice cream, chocolate cake, and custard, mixed with rich, yellow country cream.”
— Duke Ellington on the best thing he ever ate — a lovely short read in Lapham’s Quarterly.
