Jumping in a bit late here -- but when I read the entry about "Pat and Lois" I thought "hm?" then when clarified, thought "oh, cool" and carried on. It didn't seem like name-dropping at all! I like your entries, love your books and felt gratified to hear that I am not the only person with the occasional urge to throttle my children.
One of the advantages of being a librarian, especially a youth services librarian, is that I get to meet authors at conferences and such, and after a while, I lost the urge to genuflect when in the presence of an author. Respect, yes, as another human being. Idolize, no.
