    Ordinary advice: If/When Hollyweird comes calling, take the money and run. (Try not to get too disappointed when they cast a young-and-clueless thespian to play you. Also, try not to get too hot under the collar when you see all the money thrown around the set that could fund basic scientific research for the rest of the century.)

    "Don't you wonder how someone so smart ended up driving you around?"  I should ask my teenage daughter that. 

    Composer Phillip Glass drove a cab for a while after he had been recognized.
