Timing is everything. As I made my way downtown to do an errand, seeing a player, much less Juli Inkster, was the last thing on my mind. I toddled in and out of a shop on Post street, then walked half a block where I saw her walking into an Ecco store for a promotional event. She was surrounded by men in suits (think security). I was greeted by some female staffers, invited to enter their drawing (for shoes and/or a golf bag), then asked if I'd like to meet her. So, you'd think I'd dressed for the occasion, as I was wearing a Long's Drugs jacket and carrying a Samsung tote. She and I chatted briefly. She expects to play 17 events in 2009, which is about her usual these days. She autographed a photo for me, and I was on my way.
Oh, got home to see that spouse had done the same thing! Too funny.
