When I was a little boy, my dad took me to work every Saturday. He always worked six days a week, selling boxes, bags and gift wrap to retailers in the Philadelphia area. I loved going with him. He didn't talk much on the drive in, just listened to call-in radio shows and then the opera, the Metropolitan Opera, brought to you by Texaco. I learned to admire the singing and the music, by default I guess, especially the Ring cycle by Richard Wagner.
Obviously, they don't anymore because it went out of business years ago, but not before it could reject me for a job when I got out of college. I still have the rejection letter. Pop taught me to look up the names of companies — and, like the line of a baseball player in the box score, my real interest, you could see how they were graded that day, especially if Pop was so late from work that he brought home the five-star edition with the closing prices.
