I don't know if anyone here watches the USA show "Burn Notice." I loved the pilot but I haven't always kept up with it week to week. I do appreciate its essential light-heartedness and quirky-ness. A bit of a thumb in the eye to Bourne, and nowadays even Bond, where the spies take themselves so-o-o seriously. There's a fun feature on the web for Burn Notice called "Ask a Spy" where the main character Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan) dispenses the same tongue-in-cheek survival tips he does on the show, answering questions like OK, How do I break out of prison in say, Turkmenistan? I feel like I'm being spied on at work. Am I being paranoid? Go to this link for Ask a Spy www.usanetwork.com/series/burnnotice/video/spytips/video.htmlWouldn't this have been fun to do with Steele and Laura, back in the day? "Ask a Detective?" Or even, "Ask a Thief" Some of the questions on "Ask A Spy" are still a good fit. Imagine asking Mr. Steele How do I lose an ex who's been following me? Steele: The eternal quandary, eh? A former lover can pop up anywhere: dangling from a rope on your balcony or lounging in lingerie in your honeymoon bed. There's no surefire solution to the problem. The best one can do is try to diffuse the situation before it detonates...

I hope this has planted the seeds for some new RS fanfic from you. Yours is always so enjoyable.

Heh, sounds like a fun show and that would be a great hook for Steele & Laura to answer questions. You can watch it online here (along with tons of other shows including RS) www.hulu.com/burn-notice
