My youngest daughter, Catie, decided to braid my hair yesterday. Here's the result. She said I needed a pic of Willie Nelson too!

That trip to Indonesia in '09 for a 4.5 week stint filming underwater for 4 different dive operations meant that I'd have to figure out a way to take alcohol with me since I was drinking a lot then. I packed two 1.5 liter bottles of peppermint schnapps into my suitcase and stopped at the duty free store before my last flight to Indo to get two bottles of Jim Beam. I knew Indo only allowed one liter of alcohol to be brought into the country but I figured I could get away with the two bottles I was carrying.
Once I landed, I was unable to find the suitcase with the schnapps in it. Two custom officers came up from behind me and asked me if that was my bag in the middle of the room instead of around the carrousel. I looked and sure enough it was my bag and it had a large chalked "X" on the back of it. I thanked the customs officers and retrieved my bag. That's when each of them walked to either side of me and told me to follow them. So with all my luggage and two Jim Beam bottles in my hand, I followed them to a small room in the back of the airport where a large customs officer sat behind a very large desk with a small jail cell behind him.
