Here’s why. I’m not wealthy or famous. I’m not someone people invite to parties or panels to chat about anything. People don’t wave at me, don’t smile, don’t ask how my day is going. Well some service people do, and I treat them friendly to. They are helping the public in general, whatever my name(s) are or were don’t matter to them.
It’s actually funny to write about this. And that’s what’s okay to admit to, I think. I’m actually no one’s “Spielberg”. This name is here just a pen name. Some people really related to a lot things I’ve been through. Some are probably amazed.
Some people went to a lot of trouble to make certain I was NOT FAMOUS or much of anything in public. I’m okay with this. Whatever I did for others was mostly in the 1970s and 80s as a youth anyway. Many people “do work” of some kind and there is no reward attached.
hat tip!
