Carl Feynman

He did take me to one football game.

And after what he said, so what do you think?

And I said, I really didn't like that.

I don't think I want to go to any more football games.

And he was like, oh, thank God.

I mean, you know, I was very into science.

I read science fiction.

I drew lots of pictures of spaceships.

I was that kind of kid.

And, you know, he thought that was great and took me to Hughes Aircraft to their rocket factory and stuff like that.

It was great as a little kid.

I was in that world.

I wanted to be, you know, one of those cool people with the short-sleeved white shirts and the black ties.

Yeah, we had a rocket scientist living across the street.

But he had a collection of good math textbooks.

So I would go down to his study and just read these math textbooks for high schoolers when I was a little kid.

So I learned a lot of math that way.

He didn't mind being a confused old man.

We'd be in a restaurant and he'd look at the menu and get out his glasses and be confused in front of the waiter and take a long time.

And now the confused old man will look through the menu.
