I was being silly and googling my own name today ... Look what I found!

I knew my dad had called in to the local radio station to contribute to their report on the London scare, so I wasn't too surprised to find this record of my 5 minutes of Lincoln fame. But it was so strange to read this now that the events it describes are in the past by over half a year.

Speaking of the passage of time, it was about this time last year that I found out I was going to Norway at all! Consequently, this is my 100th post. I will now commemorate this moment by toasting my faithful readership with poor-quality Norwegian pilsner. Skål!

    So what amuses me about the news blurb is the whole "Lincoln native..." A Chicago news story would always be something like "An unknown number of Chicagoans have been affected by the recent [insert event here]..." But for Lincoln, it's singular. Like you're your city's entire connection to the happenings of the broader world at that moment. And you are newsworthy because you are from Lincoln; you get your own blurb, whereas everyone else gets to be stuck in the mass of other "stranded passengers." I don't know why, but that just strikes me as funny somehow. Probably because I know if I wanted to, I could send back stories to the local paper in Paris, MO, every time something big happened in Chicago, as though I was personally involved, and they would print it. "Megan Wade Antieau, daughter of Paris residents Bruce and Loretta Wade Antieau, shared about the impact of the Chicago White Sox recent win... blah blah blah."

    The question is, Meg ... why don't you? C'mon, be a local celebrity!
