Janet Stocks – For some people, cooking is not something to do to survive. They like to entertain guests or impress people with their meals. Instead of the daily drudgery, it’s a release of creative energy.

Joe Torre – I know, I know. He’s still enjoying what he’s doing; that’s the only thing I base it on. If I felt it were more drudgery than normal, or I sensed more frustration, you would ask him back automatically because that’s only the proper thing to do, but I sense he’s still having fun with it. So we’ll certainly talk about it.
