Balloon Boy dad Richard Heene returns to his home/launch site: Watch out for next "experimental craft"
It seems like only yesterday that a silver balloon floating across Colorado caused a nation to stop -- and celebrities to tweet -- about Richard Heene and his young son Falcon, who reacted to the publicity his non-flight generated by vomiting on the Today show.
Next time the Today Show crew stops by, they'll know where to set up the camera.
And now? Richard, who pleaded guilty to his role in the hoax (which he subsequently insisted wasn't a hoax at all), has completed the jail and work-release portion of his sentence and will wrap up the rest of his ninety-day sentence at home. Where he has all of his inventing tools and material, not to mention lotsa time to cook up his next attention-getter.
Will it be another "experimental craft"? No telling -- but here's a word of advice to Falcon: If your dad asks if you'd like to appear on TV again, just start puking.
