So years ago I was taking photos of Bill Bryson, the author.

He was doing a live tour and he had a meet and greet backstage and my job was to take photos of him and the people who had paid for this special.

There was about 15 of them who had paid a lot of money to be able to meet him afterwards and have a chat.

And because he's such an amazing storyteller and such an amazing writer, a lot of people wanted to tell him a lot about what's going on in their life.

And he was this incredible listener.

And I noticed that in every conversation he had before leaving, he would say, I do have to talk to someone else.

But how did your son finish school?
