Basically famous.

This is NOT the kind of dinosaur pajamas I was wearing.
Mine were just regular pajamas with dinosaurs on them.
Unfortunately.

I subscribe to a handful of podcasts, though I don't usually listen to them right away. A queue of them builds up until I have a good chunk of data entry to do at work, or some particularly tedious chore around the house. So it wasn't until a couple of weeks after it aired that I found out I had been quoted on CBC's WireTap.

Every few weeks, WireTap asks a question of its listeners on Facebook. Ironically enough, I'd forgotten that I'd answered, "What's your earliest memory?" until I heard a guy reading MY earliest memory aloud.

Which means I've been quoted on a Canadian comedy-ish podcast.

Which gets rebroadcast on NPR.

Which means I've been quoted on NPR.

Which makes me a famous expert* of some kind. 

You can hear the podcast here, at least for another week or so. My quote is at 8 minutes.

(The episode on memory is a little more serious than the usual ones. Do yourself the favor of listening to WireTap's 7-minute interview with Margaret Atwood. She is more than a person. She is an idea. And her robotic arm will punch you in the face.)


What is YOUR first memory?
