Steve,
I was reading World Magazine today and discovered you’re famous.

Yes, it’s true. I’m famous, and here’s the proof.

When a reporter from World Magazine came into the seminary library looking for someone to interview about social security, it seemed unusual, but not especially exciting. When he sat down with me in my office during my lunch break and asked me a few questions about the state of social security and Bush’s plan, it didn’t seem like much would come of it. I figured he was scouting out a bunch of twenty- or thirty-somethings, taking notes on what they had to say, and intending to use the choicest quotes in his article. Little did I know I was about to become the chief example in the cover story of a national news magazine.

By time the article was published, I had forgotten about the interview. When Hanna sent me an email asking how many free copies of World I would get that week, I was left a little puzzled. I immediately called her to figure out what she meant by the email, so she got to break the news to me about the article and to experience my shock first-hand as I looked at the article online for the first time.

So there it is—my proverbial 15 minutes of fame. I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts.
