I couldn’t write material like this …

October 28, 2005

We were in a teleconference meeting with some of our lawyers from San Diego the other day.  During a brief intermission, the phone was muted and the discussion turned to baseball.  Following a comparison of the pitchers who would be on the mound that evening, my boss (a college-educated, fairly successful fellow) turns to no one in particular and asks …

“Houston Astros.  Do you think there were named that because of astrophysics?  You know, NASA has a facility right there in Houston.  I bet they were named the Astros because NASA uses astrophysics a lot.”

God help me …I report to this man and depend on his written reviews for raises and bonuses.
