Let me put this in perspective for those of you reading this who are under, say, 40. Having my picture taken with Bruce Jenner would be the equivalent of you having your picture taken with Tiger Woods last summer. Bruce Jenner was THE athlete back in the early 70’s. No way would I have been anywhere in the vicinity of this superstar athlete. But, at BlogHer ’10, I was wrangled over to his area of the trade show asking if I’d like to have my picture taken (on my own camera, thank you) with Bruce Jenner. Why not?!

There’s something here about the trajectory of a career. He’s now stumping for Tropicana. What does that tell you? My kids and others more familiar with his career asked if he was the one married to a Kardashian. I’ve vaguely heard of those folks. Made me think about what fame can do for or against you. Sobering…Not sure I’ll ever have to be concerned with that degree of fame and its aftermath.
