Honestly, I don't know what could be nicer than this little incident that seemed to own the airwaves on Thursday, Oct. 15. After receiving a comuniqúe (cooler than text) asking if I had heard of Falcon, the Balloon Boy, I immediately set out on a digital quest to find all I could about him. After reading many news transcripts, watching many videos, and scanning the comments of those following the story from magical beginning to safe, but disappointing, end, I knew that I wanted to name something in my life Falcon.
I also learned that I wanted to invest in some sort of flying contraption that required little-to-no skills in aviation, and was metallic and shiny so as to attract a lot of media attention.
Check back soon for some Falcon, the Balloon Boy fan fiction.
If you have no idea what I am talking about, I suggest you do a quick Web search with your browser and search engine of choice. Simply use the search cues, "Falcon, the Balloon Boy."
I wrestled with the idea of just posting some videos and transcripts here, but I decided that the journey is half the fun.

What will you name Falcon? Perhaps a pet chameleon, which is known for not always being what it seems. Or a bat, which would just hide out in your attic? Or a very lifelike taxidermied falcon that you would perch prominently in your home and people would wander over for a closer look before you'd say, "Just kidding! It's a hoax!"
