So last week I became, temporarily, accidentally, a TV star.

The Investigative Discovery TV show "Wicked Attraction" did an episode called "57 Seconds" about a particularly sleazy Daytona Beach man who woke to find a man shooting his wife, whom he then gunned down. Didn't take police long to find this guy's mistress, his connection to the assassin, his criminal doings, his hidden stash of weapons, the video tape he made of himself telling his mistress to shoot another guy…  One of our editors at the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Kathy Kelly, was a crime reporter during the time of this remarkable bozo and was interviewed for the piece. Guess who was in the background, again and again?

Fortunately I'm a) blurry and b) hard at work the whole time. Employers tend to look askance at a worker displayed on national television while napping, juggling, practicing his puppetry, etc.

The show gets rerun occasionally if you've any mind to see it — although it doesn't do great things for your opinion of humanity, not even counting my presence — and will show up on iTunes eventually. God knows why. But I'm in it! Woo hoo, I guess.
