Um, oops
Homeland Security official arrested in child sex sting

I joke with daughter Becky about how half of her online friends are probably undercover FBI agents, seeing as how she's currently a genuine 14 year old girl, unlike the imaginary one this genius was trying to hook up with.

The things you only get to see when your wife likes country music
Wife Deb cannot go to sleep at night until she's had a chance to surf through one circuit of channels on our TV. This takes a while-- we get all the movie channels-- and actually has to be scheduled if it's going to be completed. Well, on this circuit are all of the music channels that actually still play music videos, including at least two country music stations... which Deb lingers on... because she likes country music. (I did not know she liked country music when I married her, and actually, she didn't know either. This was kind of like her discovering she's a lesbian after fifteen years, only not quite as devastating.)

The other night we came to a stop on a concert starring Wynonna Judd, who had guests, including Ann and Nancy Wilson (from Heart). I bring all this up because when Wynonna and Ann both stood on the edge of the stage together I was riveted, because I was sure the stage was going to collapse and send them tumbling into the audience. I'm thinking the reason Wynonna is solo now is that she ate her mom, and Ann must be eating so much Nancy doesn't get any, because Nancy still looks nice.
