My dad answered the door. A well-dressed man with a briefcase entered. He said he had to discuss an important legal manner with a person by the name of "Stephen Meiner". I acknowledged that I was he. My own wife and children were outside, playing with our dog ...and I was happy that they were. I couldn't imagine who this was, who he represented, or what he had to say to me. All I knew was that this all had me baffled ...and it was the beginning of an awkward and uncomfortable conversation. Whatever it was that was going to be said, I was glad my family was outside.
