Interesting Times

My two week long holiday from the day job concluded this morning & as I drove my daughters to school in the pre-dawn darkness, our local radio newscaster was talking about a hostage situation in a neighboring state which began here--citing what I thought was the name of a professional colleague as the hostage-taker! "Nah, couldn't be," I muttered to my elder daughter & promptly dismissed this until I turned on the Today show to listen to while I was showering & dressing for work...and SAW A PHOTO of the individual I was certain it wasn't!

OK, how often has THIS happened to anybody? It was a peculiar experience, one about which all the black humor came out at the office at this individual's expense. Note to self--this isn't someone whose example is stellar enough to FOLLOW! (As if I need the reminder? He's now facing charges of kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, with intent to kill, etc. Don't think he's going to be working for the same establishment as myself for much longer!)
