I had an interesting lunch this afternoon. My former boss at McAfee was moving on to bigger, better things, and today was his goodbye luncheon. So members of the good ‘ol UI team past and present were invited for a to Maggiano’s at Santana Row. We all sat down and were having a merry time when I looked up and two tables away was “The Great One,” Mr. Wayne Gretzky. It then occurred to me that the Coyotes (you know, one of the worst teams in the NHL) are playing the Sharks tonight, so as he walked past our table on his way out, we couldn’t resist and yelled out “Go Sharks!”
Even though it was Wayne Gretzky–the guy is a legend–I still feel pretty good about having done my duty as a Sharks fan.

So awesome. Take that Gretzky.

Awesome. You just trash-talked one of the greatest athletes of all time.

I know, I feel a little bad about that. I would’ve felt worse though if I went up to him and asked for his autograph while he was having lunch.

You should’ve asked, “So Great One, why is your team not so great–oh sorry, I mean suck so much?”

Where was your camera at the time? You should have taken a picture with him.

You did it again, Tim. This time you did it by yourself. You are your parents’ son – meeting cool people without a camera.
You also met and talked with Joe Montana in a restaurant in Santa Clara when you were in 4th grade – and your mom and dad didn’t have their camera!
You even ice skate and held hands with Dorothy Hamil at a skating rink in Anchorage when you were just 3 yrs. old – and your mom and dad didn’t have their camera!
