After the article appeared in the Oregonian two weeks ago<\/a>, I had a lot of people tell me, “You’re famous!” After having heard this several times from people I knew, I began correcting them. “Famous means that complete strangers recognize you,” I said. “The only people who have commented on the article are people that I know.” Graham also thought it meant I was famous and bragged to everyone who would listen that his dad was in the paper. Overheard several times at Cub Scouts just the other night:<\/p>\n

“Do you get the paper?”<\/p>\n

A complete stranger recognized me and we had a nice chat about the article and how I am now famous and that she was the one that made me famous.<\/p>\n
