steve young sighting!

i was eating lunch on the cafeteria patio the other day, when the door opened, and out walked our CEO, with steve young, my second favorite football player of all time (and a bunch of other people who i didn't really look at). they sat down with their lunch trays at a nearby table.

so i promptly regressed into crazy niner fandom, turned around and hissed to a co-worker, omigod, it's steve young!

to which there were several replies:

- are you sure? (yes, he's wearing a visitor badge that says, "Steve Young")
- he's in a car commercial, right?
- which sport does he play? baseball?

i conclude that the sign of a true geek is to not know who steve young is...or at least not know what he looks like.

but now that i think about it, maybe the reason steve young likes to eat here is that no one knows who he is.

and that's not even the coolest celebrity sighting this month. apparently gwyneth paltrow was here last week with coldplay.

this can't be good for productivity.
