Ace, Don't Relax -- Michael

We have all wondered why Ace is so obsessive about his anonymity. None of us buy his story that he's worried about a potential serious career as a *coughridiculouscough* screenwriter.

Nope. Not buying it. Something else is going on.

I'm thinking, Ace is worried about that knock on the door.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A convicted murderer who escaped from a Michigan psychiatric facility in 1976 was back behind bars Thursday after living most of his 30 years on the run as an otherwise law-abiding family man in Tennessee, authorities said.

Thomas Ball, 76, was arrested at his Nashville home Wednesday morning, Deputy U.S. Marshal Danny Shelton said.

Ball had been using the name Thomas Fry and had run a storage business near Nashville for years with a woman he called his wife, Shelton said. After she died last year, he turned to the government for financial help, and that led the marshals to his door.

"Maybe he never thought the knock would come, but it did yesterday," Shelton said Thursday.

Ace, I'm thinking you should just keep moving around, like you've been doing.
