So, Mrs CP and I have been watching the special on TV about Einstein and Hawking.
Out of the Blue, Mrs CP says "he signed my notebook". I asked, "who"? She said, "Hawking".
I had to think about that a minute, and asked - THE HAWKING?!?! She said "that one on TV, yes".
I thought about it a minute, and said, "you know he's dead, right?" She said, "well, yeah, this was before he died". (she has always had a flair for stating the obvious)
I paused the show and said, "when did he sign your notebook"? She said, "when I brought him lunch before one of his speeches at A&M". (I think that was 2008ish)
Turns out Mrs CP had interaction with this intellectual giant, and NEVER TOLD ME about it! We (Mrs CP and I) had run into him a number of times at local restaurants in College Station, but she never said anything about being in the same room with him at work!
So, I asked "how come you never told me about it?" She matter-of-factly replied "because I signed a confidentiality agreement not allowing me to talk about it til a year after he died".
Moral of the Story: If Mrs CP agrees to something, or not to talk about something, you can take it to the bank!!!!
