While strolling through the lobby at the conference hotel today, I heard a familiar voice and turned around to find comedian Richard Lewis sitting in the cafe. Apparently, he is performing at the DC Improv tonight.

I was tempted to stop and initiate a conversation, because he's also a graduate of a certain Columbus-based university. But I was afraid this might come up and I didn't want to go there, even though my tenure in athletic communications at OSU had long since ended when this happened.
