Fame

Apparently, I have acquired some unsought-for fame.

This afternoon, talking with the mento at his school locker, I happened to mention color guard. The girl standing at the next locker exclaimed that she was in color guard. I asked her if she knew my daughter, and she said that she did, and would be talking to her tonight at their practice. On the way home from that practice, my daughter said that the girl had come over and told her that she thought her father (me) was 'very cool'. My daughter told her I had been in the Air Force, and the girl was visibly impressed.

"Just what I need", I said, dryly. "An eighth-grade girl as a fan. Get me arrested for sure."
