I've just had 3 seconds of fame... I was on Fox 25 News at 10 in Boston. Years of preparation and keeping up on current events paid off. Coming out of the drug store this afternoon the anchor was there with a camera guy. My big question ... did I know the security features on the new $20 bill? I rattled off a couple.. the iridescent ink, the little yellow 20's in the background on the back. I can at least be happy that I was the only person on the street that knew any. Quite a moment of glory.
My previous claim to fame was riding in the trunk of an elephant at the Hong Kong zoo at age 5. (I was the only blonde kid there.) Unfortunately, the TV news was after my bedtime, and they hadn't invented VCR's yet, so I never got to see that one. I now have my big 3 second on TiVo, so I can watch it anytime :-). I never knew I moved my head so much when I talk..
You rode in the trunk of an elephant? Must have been pretty dark up there. Good thing he didn't have to sneeze--probably would have shot you out of there like a cannon.
