Keep your eyes and ears open.

I've definitely got quality. This has been one of the best years of my life. Odd, since I mostly just study, surf the web, and spend time with my wife. I guess you're saying not to worry too much about it, though. That's probably good advice.
I should also add that my father spent a great deal of his life living in a cabin on top of a mountain and flying hang gliders. Perhaps my compelling instinct to be alone is genetic? :] Not that I necessarily need to be like that, but I definitely need some alone time on a fairly regular basis.
