I do too. I believe in that too. I think that maybe I don't feel like I work less hard for having the family. I think that the kids are a great joy and Caroline is a great joy.

I'll hang out with the kids from 6.30 or 7 until 8. I'll go to my desk. I'll work for four hours. I'll eat lunch at my desk. I'll go out and garden for 20 minutes to clear my head. I'll come back. The kids will be back at 3.30. I'll hang out with them for like half an hour and then I'll go back to work and then I'll have dinner. You know, I don't know. It just all feels very integrated.
