| There are times when Scott Selig (whose first name is really Stephen) is invited to a lunch, but it turns out the person meant to meet his father, the indominable Steve Selig (here with grandsons Cooper and Sam). ?When they realize they have me at the meeting and not my father, I tell them, 'Don't worry, you got the younger, smarter Selig, maybe even the better looking one as well',?
