During a recent telephone interview, Wainwright spoke about her interest in the Brontës, the origins of the project and what it felt like to write in the voice of someone from the 19th century.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What was your introduction to the Brontës' work?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a teenager, I was first drawn to \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wuthering Heights\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. As an adult, I've been much more engaged by Emily's poetry. I've never particularly got on with Charlotte's work, although she is very clever, obviously. It was because of her ambition and her drive that they ended up getting published.

It's a bit of a balancing act between authenticity and creating something that the audience will be engaged by and understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_8606\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-8606\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/about/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2017/03/To-Walk-Invisible_24-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"Picture Shows (from left to right): Emily Bronte (CHLOE PIRRIE), Ann Bronte (CHARLIE MURPHY), and Charlotte Bronte (FINN ATKINS).

Also Executive Editor \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/about/2015/03/01/interview-kqeds-holly-kernan/\">Holly Kernan\u003c/a>. And I want to make it clear, I don’t suck up to my bosses, but Holly is someone who, when you look at what she did at KALW and you look at the staffing resources and the budget resources, you think, “How do I not want to be part of this?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I love Portland. I love Oregon. It was a really difficult decision, but I’m a native Californian. This feels like home in a way that Portland, as much as I love it, just didn’t. Not only that, I care about California greatly. Every day I’m allowed to help tell stories from the state and to bring up issues that perhaps might not be told elsewhere. That’s a really big responsibility. I’m up for the challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> What are the challenges?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWell, the first is time. I wish I had more time. The show is seven and a half minutes long. Trying to decide what stays in a story and what doesn’t is the professional equivalent of trying to decide which child you like better. I have to “pick children” really, really quickly, early in the morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second challenge, and the reason I want more time, is that there are so many interesting characters, stories and narratives in California. Then, on top of that, there are really complex issues to cover. It’s been challenging to figure out how to distill all that down and best tell it in seven and a half minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honestly, I wish I had two hours. I think we could fill it. But seven and a half minutes is a good start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> What's your vision for your role as \u003cem>The California Report\u003c/em> host?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWell, one thing that must be recognized is that this is the house that Scott Shafer and Ingrid Becker built. Very early on in my career, I worked as the morning host at KAZU in Monterey, and I remember Scott coming on live and that there was a feeling that if he was saying it, it was important. I want to find a way to keep that feeling going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if we continue this house metaphor through, we must acknowledge that this house was built largely on policy and politics. I love policy and politics. I also love the arts. And tech. I’m a tech nerd, and I think that we have an obligation, given that big changes in humanity are probably going to come through Silicon Valley, to enhance our coverage there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of other stories that don’t necessarily have to do with straight policy, but that are incredibly important threads in the quilt that is California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Right.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>So, you have about six metaphors there you can choose from, but to get back to my original point, I want to see how we can add these other things without losing the policy and the politics that people have come to rely on. We're looking toward that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is launching a podcast something you are talking about?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI think that great content will find its way to the proper medium. Right now I'm focused on getting my hosting chops down and establishing a rapport with our core listeners. That said, I have a background in show production. I created \u003cem>CNN Newsday, \u003c/em>which was a very successful podcast. In fact, it was so successful that it drove itself out of business, which just shows the lunacy of CNN. And that is on the record! I’m also really proud of a show I created about the music industry called \u003cem>The Future of What, \u003c/em>which has become the go-to podcast radio show for the music industry. My point is that, when that time comes, I feel very confident we'll be able to execute a podcast, but right now, that's not my focus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is there a recent KQED story that’s stuck with you?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>I think the story that really shows the power of KQED, encapsulates why it’s important to be a member of KQED and why it’s important that members’ contributions help employ really talented journalists and strong editorial leadership, is the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/night-shift/\">\u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift \u003c/em>\u003c/a>series. It really opened my eyes to both the necessity and the promise of our reporting. I don’t have something of mine to talk about, and I’m fine with that. Right now I’m looking at my colleagues and thinking, “Holy heck, I’d better up my game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s like if you’re playing a sport with people who are more experienced or better than you are, you have to step it up or you’re not going to play\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nYeah. You’re going to sit the bench. I’m not about to sit on the bench, in this house, under a quilt that is California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>With your least favorite child! Okay, last question. Do you have a guilty pleasure?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nMy guilty pleasure is that in the mornings, while Brian Watt and I are bantering back and forth, I will set him up to say something dumb in front of everybody. Because we are going back and forth so quickly, I leave him in a space where he has to say something that he didn't mean. I enjoy getting his goat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are four of us who come into the KQED newsroom every day between 4 and 5am, and there are a lot of quick jokes, a lot of things that you might not find in a more populated office setting. There's a guilty pleasure in the teasing and the ribbing that goes on. It's cool to be a part of that team, and I like to tweak them a little bit, here and there. I guess I shouldn't say that though!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, Taylor Swift. I listen to Taylor Swift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My brother is a music professor, and he believes that Taylor Swift, specifically her chord progressions, is ruining America. On his wedding day, he went into this rant about Taylor Swift. I was on the fence about her. I shook it off sometimes, but after that day I knew that if he didn’t like her, that’s what I needed to be about!\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":null,"status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1476725785,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":22,"wordCount":1216},"headData":{"title":"Interview: John Sepulvado | KQED","description":"This summer brought a new voice to the weekday morning broadcast of KQED Public Radio’s The California Report.

But you decided to raise the camera up, away from the plate and onto the people who produce our food.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the easiest ways for people to access Asian, or Asian American culture is through food, or restaurants or being foodies. That's something I've observed as an Asian American. Growing up in the Midwest, we did not talk about the food we ate because it was too weird and foreign. But now everyone has embraced kimchi. The dish is very much a part of who we were, and an integral part of our family and our life, but it's now mainstream, like the condiment Sriracha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Part of what this film explores is that even though you can take pictures of your food, how much do you really know about the person who made that food, the person who grew that food and the story behind it?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Informally, I have been asking people over the years, \"Why do you take pictures of your food?\" Because I'll do it occasionally, but I'm not obsessive about it. I think that they don't want to forget what they’ve eaten and they’re trying to articulate the meaning of food to them and how it relates to who they are.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The picture itself then represents what is special.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right. I was once in a college class talking about another film, a documentary about social justice. The students liked the film, and then they asked, \"What are you working on now?\" I said, \"I'm making a film about food.\" All these kids, they just lit up and they couldn't stop talking. They all talked about why they take pictures of their food. They were engaged, and it was exciting to them because it's not high pressure to eat food. It's fun to go to a restaurant or go to a food truck. It may be the entré into talking about other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Why didn't you talk about food growing up in Missouri? Were there few Asian Americans there?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There actually were quite a few immigrant families like my own. There are pictures of backyard picnics and the Korean church, which was where I had access to Korean food and community. But it was definitely separate from what I experienced in my white-bread world outside my home and the immigrant community I grew up in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_5637\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/about/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2015/11/hawaii.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-5637\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/about/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2015/11/hawaii.jpg\" alt=\"Hi’ilei, champion of native Hawaiian food traditions, with her father Gabby; Courtesy of Quyen Tran.\" width=\"720\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2015/11/hawaii.jpg 720w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2015/11/hawaii-400x191.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hi’ilei, champion of native Hawaiian food traditions, with her father Gabby; Courtesy of Quyen Tran.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cbr>\nWhat more can you tell us about \u003c/b>\u003cb>the concept of “mana” that\u003c/b>\u003cb> Hi’ilei Kawelo\u003c/b>\u003cb> introduces us to in Hawaii?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't want to butcher the definition. I'm just going off of what people in the film said. Hi’ilei talks about it being the essence of everything. The essence of everything sounds so broad, but history and culture are all wrapped up in mana. It pervades everyday life and culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coming home from school, relatives or my parents would often ask, \"Have you eaten?\" not \"How are you doing?\" It’s more important to know that you've been nourished and fed. This has nothing to do with mana, but it speaks to the idea that food is more than just a meal. It's connected to your well being. Also, when I would visit my grandparents in Korea, my grandfather practiced ancestor worship, which means respecting the dead on certain days and laying out a whole table full of specific foods as an offering to your ancestors. It's using food to respect tradition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The film contends with the idea of what’s authentically Asian American, such as Fung Tu’s French-influenced Chinese cuisine.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you talk about what is Asian America or what is an Asian American sensibility, how can you actually define that? I don't even know how to define Asian American, to be honest, but the film is a way to explore what that evolving concept means. Gary Chiu, with the tofu factory in Houston, says, \"My experience is only a thin slice of what Asian American cuisine or Chinese food is,\" and I feel the same way.

That's something I've observed as an Asian American. Growing up in the Midwest, we did not talk about the food we ate because it was too weird and foreign. But now everyone has embraced kimchi. The dish is very much a part of who we were, and an integral part of our family and our life, but it's now mainstream, like the condiment Sriracha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Part of what this film explores is that even though you can take pictures of your food, how much do you really know about the person who made that food, the person who grew that food and the story behind it?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Informally, I have been asking people over the years, \"Why do you take pictures of your food?\" Because I'll do it occasionally, but I'm not obsessive about it. I think that they don't want to forget what they’ve eaten and they’re trying to articulate the meaning of food to them and how it relates to who they are.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The picture itself then represents what is special.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right. I was once in a college class talking about another film, a documentary about social justice. The students liked the film, and then they asked, \"What are you working on now?\" I said, \"I'm making a film about food.\" All these kids, they just lit up and they couldn't stop talking. They all talked about why they take pictures of their food. They were engaged, and it was exciting to them because it's not high pressure to eat food. It's fun to go to a restaurant or go to a food truck. It may be the entré into talking about other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Why didn't you talk about food growing up in Missouri? Were there few Asian Americans there?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There actually were quite a few immigrant families like my own. There are pictures of backyard picnics and the Korean church, which was where I had access to Korean food and community. But it was definitely separate from what I experienced in my white-bread world outside my home and the immigrant community I grew up in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_5637\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/about/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2015/11/hawaii.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-5637\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/about/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2015/11/hawaii.jpg\" alt=\"Hi’ilei, champion of native Hawaiian food traditions, with her father Gabby; Courtesy of Quyen Tran.\" width=\"720\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2015/11/hawaii.jpg 720w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2015/11/hawaii-400x191.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hi’ilei, champion of native Hawaiian food traditions, with her father Gabby; Courtesy of Quyen Tran.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cbr>\nWhat more can you tell us about \u003c/b>\u003cb>the concept of “mana” that\u003c/b>\u003cb> Hi’ilei Kawelo\u003c/b>\u003cb> introduces us to in Hawaii?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't want to butcher the definition. I'm just going off of what people in the film said. Hi’ilei talks about it being the essence of everything. The essence of everything sounds so broad, but history and culture are all wrapped up in mana. It pervades everyday life and culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coming home from school, relatives or my parents would often ask, \"Have you eaten?\" not \"How are you doing?\" It’s more important to know that you've been nourished and fed. This has nothing to do with mana, but it speaks to the idea that food is more than just a meal. It's connected to your well being. Also, when I would visit my grandparents in Korea, my grandfather practiced ancestor worship, which means respecting the dead on certain days and laying out a whole table full of specific foods as an offering to your ancestors. It's using food to respect tradition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The film contends with the idea of what’s authentically Asian American, such as Fung Tu’s French-influenced Chinese cuisine.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you talk about what is Asian America or what is an Asian American sensibility, how can you actually define that? I don't even know how to define Asian American, to be honest, but the film is a way to explore what that evolving concept means. Gary Chiu, with the tofu factory in Houston, says, \"My experience is only a thin slice of what Asian American cuisine or Chinese food is,\" and I feel the same way. Jonathan Wu really embodies it when he says, \"Okay, it's not technically Chinese, but Chinese people might have a way to connect with it.\" .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At a recent screening, somebody asked \"Don't you think it's dangerous if you start mixing things, diluting what Asian is?\" My response was \"That's already happening now.\" It’s like saying there's only one definition of what Asian can be.

Before KQED, I was at KGO Radio. I was a general assignment reporter with a lot of emphasis on politics and the courts. I also reported from Pakistan with the East-West Journalism Center for almost a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What drew you to the job at KQED?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>I worked for Oregon Public Broadcasting years ago and am a big fan of public radio, and I have strong personal ties to Silicon Valley. I lived in San Jose for almost 19 years — working and raising my three children. Then I lived in Sacramento and commuted to San Francisco every day for about two years. I listened to KQED quite a bit then and always appreciated the depth and the scope of the stories. Working for KQED in Silicon Valley brings me full circle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is KQED’s Silicon Valley Desk focusing on particular kinds of stories?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>We place a lot of emphasis on covering Silicon Valley’s diverse community. Santa Clara County is arguably the most diverse part of the Bay Area. San Jose has the largest Vietnamese population of any city outside Vietnam. There’s a huge and thriving Latino population and an enormous Indian population. We’ve made a big push to shine a light on communities that have not previously received much attention, with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/california-immigrants-at-work\" target=\"_blank\">stories on immigration\u003c/a>, jobs and services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently we covered \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/28/modi-calls-silicon-valleys-indian-americans-a-brain-gain\" target=\"_blank\">the monumental visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u003c/a>. The last time an Indian prime minister came to California was 33 years ago. There are 300,000 Indian Americans in Northern California, and about 150,000 of them live in the Bay Area. So, as you might imagine, there was a lot of pride associated with his visit — \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-x_0gmu-Rk\" target=\"_blank\">as well as protests\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is there anything from your reporting of his visit that sticks with you?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Modi’s vision of transforming India into \"digital India\" was significant, but what stuck with me was how much he was trying to appeal to Indian Americans who have been in Silicon Valley a long time. He wants them to invest in India. He called them not a brain drain, but a brain gain, a deposit that he can cash in on. He made it clear that opportunities are growing in India and that he wants them to open offices in India or come back to live. India is one of the fastest-growing economies; that was at the heart of his message. He also wants startups to bring their manufacturing to India, so he spent a lot of time with Indian American startup founders. It’s not just the big companies. He’s looking at the whole ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can you share some stories you have in the pipeline?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>We’ll be looking at Silicon Valley gearing up to enter Cuba. We are also working on stories about surveillance; Homeland Security and the CIA are moving into Silicon Valley, opening offices here to get a piece of the startup action. And, of course, we’ll look at the economics of the Super Bowl. It’s really interesting: Silicon Valley essentially hijacked a lot of the Super Bowl activities from San Francisco, which nobody was expecting. The teams are staying in Silicon Valley and are going to practice at Stanford and San Jose State. And the big, nationally televised media night will be at SAP Center [in San Jose] the week before the Super Bowl. Nobody in their wildest dreams expected San Jose and Santa Clara County to get this much attention!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>We\u003c/strong>’\u003cstrong>ll end things on a light note. Do you have a guilty pleasure?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>My guilty pleasure is going to Santa Cruz on Sunday mornings and boogie boarding. It makes me feel like a kid, and it's very relaxing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I\u003c/strong>’\u003cstrong>m wondering where the guilt comes from.

Instead, she was kind enough to take time to talk about her career and the stories she’s working on for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When did you start at KQED, and where were you working before\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>I just celebrated my one-year anniversary. Before KQED, I was at KGO Radio. I was a general assignment reporter with a lot of emphasis on politics and the courts. I also reported from Pakistan with the East-West Journalism Center for almost a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What drew you to the job at KQED?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>I worked for Oregon Public Broadcasting years ago and am a big fan of public radio, and I have strong personal ties to Silicon Valley. I lived in San Jose for almost 19 years — working and raising my three children. Then I lived in Sacramento and commuted to San Francisco every day for about two years. I listened to KQED quite a bit then and always appreciated the depth and the scope of the stories. Working for KQED in Silicon Valley brings me full circle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is KQED’s Silicon Valley Desk focusing on particular kinds of stories?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>We place a lot of emphasis on covering Silicon Valley’s diverse community. Santa Clara County is arguably the most diverse part of the Bay Area. San Jose has the largest Vietnamese population of any city outside Vietnam. There’s a huge and thriving Latino population and an enormous Indian population. We’ve made a big push to shine a light on communities that have not previously received much attention, with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/california-immigrants-at-work\" target=\"_blank\">stories on immigration\u003c/a>, jobs and services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently we covered \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/28/modi-calls-silicon-valleys-indian-americans-a-brain-gain\" target=\"_blank\">the monumental visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u003c/a>. The last time an Indian prime minister came to California was 33 years ago. There are 300,000 Indian Americans in Northern California, and about 150,000 of them live in the Bay Area. So, as you might imagine, there was a lot of pride associated with his visit — \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-x_0gmu-Rk\" target=\"_blank\">as well as protests\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is there anything from your reporting of his visit that sticks with you?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Modi’s vision of transforming India into \"digital India\" was significant, but what stuck with me was how much he was trying to appeal to Indian Americans who have been in Silicon Valley a long time. He wants them to invest in India. He called them not a brain drain, but a brain gain, a deposit that he can cash in on. He made it clear that opportunities are growing in India and that he wants them to open offices in India or come back to live. India is one of the fastest-growing economies; that was at the heart of his message. He also wants startups to bring their manufacturing to India, so he spent a lot of time with Indian American startup founders. It’s not just the big companies. He’s looking at the whole ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can you share some stories you have in the pipeline?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>We’ll be looking at Silicon Valley gearing up to enter Cuba. We are also working on stories about surveillance; Homeland Security and the CIA are moving into Silicon Valley, opening offices here to get a piece of the startup action. And, of course, we’ll look at the economics of the Super Bowl. It’s really interesting: Silicon Valley essentially hijacked a lot of the Super Bowl activities from San Francisco, which nobody was expecting. The teams are staying in Silicon Valley and are going to practice at Stanford and San Jose State. And the big, nationally televised media night will be at SAP Center [in San Jose] the week before the Super Bowl. Nobody in their wildest dreams expected San Jose and Santa Clara County to get this much attention!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>We\u003c/strong>’\u003cstrong>ll end things on a light note. Do you have a guilty pleasure?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>My guilty pleasure is going to Santa Cruz on Sunday mornings and boogie boarding. It makes me feel like a kid, and it's very relaxing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I\u003c/strong>’\u003cstrong>m wondering where the guilt comes from.
