"What I meant
about your place next week", Griff continued on the telephone, "is that my Dad will be in town on Wednesday and Thursday for a meeting with a math conference Program Committee. We are having dinner Wednesday night, and I am hoping that you will join us, and then I was thinking that if I spent the night with you, I could meet my Dad for breakfast. That would make him happy."
This coming weekend, Caydance thought to herself, would be Stanford vs San Diego State on Saturday afternoon, Griff's beach house on Saturday night and Sunday, and a few days later dinner with Griff and his Dad and then Griff planned to spend the night at her place. Of course, because of teams spying on each other -- treetops, helicopters, disguises, the anger of spied-on coaches, the lingering ingenuity of Al Davis, the need to memorize and destroy playbooks -- he could not reveal the Depth Plan for Saturday's game. But Caydance was content with what Griff had planned, and she knew perfectly well why.
"It would be a pleasure to meet your Dad", she replied.
