Be good to self.
Here's my recognition story (not from YouTube, but I like it):
Years ago, I was standing in line at CVS (American pharmacy store) and Nancy Kerrigan (Olympic skater, who happens to be from my town) was in line ahead of me. Two women were ahead of her, and they kept looking backwards and whispering at one another. Nancy Kerrigan was getting a little bit uncomfortable in that, "Yes, I'm a celebrity, but I'm just here to buy my Band Aids in peace," kind of way and looked up when one of the women stepped back in line, passed her by, and came up to ME and said, "Isn't your name Patrick? I just LOVED you in 'The American Clock'! You played all those characters so well!"
I'd just been in a play in town the week before. Ms. Kerrigan was NOT AMUSED, but I had a story I can tell at parties forever from that.
