Where did this quote come from?

“Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party.”

I just heard it again and I can't remember what the hell it came from! Is it from "A Salty Piece of Land"? Or did he just say it one time in passing? Its driving me nuts!

Thanks

Is it from Pirate Looks at Fifty? Very familiar quote but not sure the source.

After searching all the "Quotes" sites I know of I have to say I came up blank.

Thanks Chippewa and SGH! I can stop pulling my hair out now.

I heard the quote on last week's episode of "White Collar" on USA, that I had Tivo'd. I was pretty sure it was from one of his books but couldn't really remember.
