Extry, Extry: J. Beckett Marries Actual Rocket Scientist
Once upon a time, NotGraphs engaged only in the most serious of reportage and most whimsical of inspired flights.
Then Dayn Perry joined our ranks, and — well — I think I’m understating the case when I say that he left a wake of destruction in his, uh, wake.
As that old saying goes, though, “When life hands you lemons, use the zest of those lemons to make a great Moroccan Charbroiled Lamb & Fennel Stew with 7 Seed Couscous.” (Seriously.) Which is why I feel only modest chagrin when I announce to the bespectacled readership that, apparently, Boston Righty and Inveterate Texaner Josh Beckett has married, very literally, a rocket scientist.
I say “literally,” but I’ll admit that she’s officially described as an “aeronautics engineer,” and I don’t understand the difference, and the Boston Herald’s socialite pages describe her (i.e. Holly Fisher) as a “rocket scientist,” and those are definitely right.
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
That’s cool that Beckett married a girl with an actual brain in her head instead of the usual reality TV star or failed model most of the ballplayers seem to go after.
