It did not surprise me particularly that Steve was such a skilled and perceptive interviewer; he's been at this for some time. What mildly surprised me (not sure why) was how personable he was. I really enjoyed the conversation, and as especially pleased that we could joke and anecdotalize. Though the conversation was, I hope, informative, it was also a plain delight to have that conversation in the first place. I've done this sort of thing countless times, so when I call our interchange delightful...Well, that's saying something.
