Yesterday I was in a meeting with John Gannon. He’s the committee staff director of the National Homeland Security Department. He was also the former Chairman of the National Intelligence Council who has served as both Deputy Director and Assistant Director of the CIA. He called me out for wearing jeans. Ouch. I didn’t want to get into my story of a frantic trip to Filene’s that morning, as well as trying on linen pants.
It’s all good, though. Later we made up when we were discussing my WPI background. He grew up in Worcester and was a Holy Cross alum. That didn’t stop him from calling out the WPI Athletics department. There is no defense for the Athletic department so I gladly agreed with him.
