two truths and a lie

At work, one of the higher-ups was having a skip-level lunch. As an icebreaker, she told us, we would play "Two truths and a lie." We would each, in turn, say three things about ourselves. One would be true and two would be lies. The others would then guess which was the true statement.

My statements were:

• On my first date with my wife, we ate dinner at the Cornforth House in Saco, Maine. This was relevant because this higher-up is from Maine.
• My grandfather played minor league baseball in the Pirates organization. He was known as the "Rude Shortstop."
• One year I was invited to the Governor's Christmas tree-lighting ceremony is Montgomery, Alabama.
