15 seconds of fame

While I detest my voice and the fact that I sound like an imbecile, it was a memorable experience to be interviewed by a newscaster from Atlanta.

Jeff and I were walking back from a SCUBA shop with whom he scheduled an outing and noticed a newscaster and cameraman getting a shot. Jeff and I stopped so as not to interfere with their shot and continued walking (apparently like a duck). The newscaster Jim Wallace of Atlanta WSFA 12, asked where we were from, why we were here etc., and asked about the oil spill, which Jeff and I being on vacation and not even turning on a t.v. or reading a newspaper had only just heard about. He asked if he could get our opinion on the the oil spill and the effects locally. I shrugged and said "sure". Now you will see my 15 seconds of fame and understand my determination to remain forever in infamy:-)

My favorite thing about that experience: FINALLY getting to meet Jim Wallace
