FAME, etc.

PITTSBURGH, PA: My 14-year-old niece still calls me 'Uncle Idiot,' which continues to shock and amaze anyone who hasn't heard her use that nickname yet. And yes, I've considered abandoning my current stage name in favor of that one.
BUFFALO, NY: My brother-in-law came home from work one day to see a crowd of children gathered in the yard. When he got closer, he realized the crowd had gathered around my 10-year-old nephew, who was playing the Acoustic Ross News From Around the Bend cd at full volume.
BUFFALO, NY: The aforementioned nephew, when asked to bring and play samples of his three favorite composers at a Cub Scout gathering, included that same CD as one of the three examples.
And I just don't know how I could ever possibly top any of that stuff.
