Apparently, I'm famous? Heh!

On Sunday, my family and I went to a party at the home of one of my younger daughter's friends from pre-school. I knew that the father was a member of BookCrossing (albeit, much less active than I tend to be), so perhaps inevitably, the conversation eventually turned to BookCrossing. I had to laugh at a story he told me about a discussion with his mother (also a BookCrosser, though not in the immediate local area). He was telling her how he had missed the get-together we had a couple of weeks ago because of work. He hoped to attend a future event, as he knew the organizer (i.e., me). His mother said something like "No, it was organized by ResQgeek." He agreed, and said that he knew me. She said, "I know he's on your friends list, but that's just because he's famous, right?"

LOL!

He continued to try and persuade her that we had really met, that our daughters were friends, but I don't know if he was successful. Before we left, he had to take a picture of me in his kitchen to send to his mother. I wonder how she would react if I sent her a private message to say "Hi"...
