It stirs up envy, fame does. People...feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you--and it won't hurt your feelings--like it's happening to your clothing.
I've been on a calendar, but never on time.
Say good-bye to Pat, say good-bye to Jack and say good-bye to yourself, because you're a nice guy.
