EDIT: it is 6, not 5, sorry
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoI do so desperately want a small walk-on part in a film with Kevin Bacon to get an Erdős–Bacon number of 3. I know, I know, it's hardly a worthy ambition. But still. <sigh>
- eru 16y agoHave you tried asking him? A hand-written letter might just work.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoI yet may do just that. I have, at various times, had speculative versions running around in my head. Recently a good colleague of mine died very suddenly. I realised that there was so much I had wanted to ask him about, and never got the chance. Last year I got to spend an afternoon with one of my childhood - and adulthood - heroes. That was just 2 months before he died. If you put up a piece of A0 paper marked off in centimeter squares, and I marked them off one per day, there's a very good chance I wouldn't cross them all off before I die. I'm starting to think of some of the things I want to do for me, as well as the things I want to leave for others. Maybe I should write to Kevin Bacon.
