ANOTHER 15 SECONDS OF FAME -- by Steve Nadis
I already mentioned (boasted about) the fact that our house was "featured" in yesterday's Boston Globe. However, I did not realize that I personally was mentioned in the article, in addition to the photo of our house. The article said that "neighbors wanted an urban greenery that would appeal to adults and children..." And by "neighbors," I'm pretty sure they meant me.
I also had an Op-Ed piece in yesterday's paper about our governor, Deval Patrick, who has just lined up a fat book deal. While I didn't actually write the piece (the named author is Joan Vennochi), she said everything I wanted to say on the subject so that I feel my opinion was well represented. More on that subject later, which is worthy of a post on its own. Well, I think that's enough bragging for now. By my reckoning, by 30 or 45 seconds of fame is just about running out.
