While I lack national attention, I am a key link on a number of 6 Degrees of Separation chains.
For instance, I'm a link between N'Sync, Cyndi Lauper, and Miss America. I seem to be part of huge circles of seemingly unrelated people surprisingly interconnected to the point that when I asked my lone British friend if she happened to know my British co-worker, I was not particularly surprised to hear her say, "Yeah, I know a H- K-, went to Infant School with her." Wasn't the right H K, but...
(BTW: My wife worked with Chris Kirkpatrick (Dude with the f'ugly hair in N'Sync)'s mom. Cyndi Lauper sent us a bottle of champagne on our honeymoon. And I was good friends with Miss America in high school. I am bathed in what Nabokov would call 'Pale Fire').
