I guess it's kind of comforting to know beyond a shadow of a doubt who's spying on you. Sometimes when I'm talking on the phone I throw out a juicy little tidbit (as in, "Hmm, now what does the B in FBI stand for? Is it balustrade? Is it bungalow? Is it brobdingnagian?"; or "You know what? The CIA can kick the FBI's *ass*.") in the hopes that the agent listening will slip up and jump in. No luck yet. This is great.

Spy or not, you have adventurous times. Personally, I think, that if she WERE a spy, you would have to write such a piece to cover her tracks, which makes me think that she must be a spy. Hehe.
