Izzy at Sea:

A nice lady named Debbie I spoke to at a bar told me that she would bet money that Izzy is travelling around the world on a boat. She made a lot of good points. A. Izzy owned two yachts that we know of. B. If Izzy was trying to get away from some kind of whack-jobs he would need to keep on the move. As an experienced hunter I can tell you that it’s harder to hit a moving target. 3. If the bad guys got too close, he could go out to international waters where laws can’t touch you just to stay safe. Until now, I’ve been focusing all my attention to searching for Izzy on land. But the earth is made of 70% water!

Possible Florida Izzy Sighting Part 3:

Disaster! Greg from Tallahassee got taken in by a no good dirty grifter! He said that after he handed him the 800 dollars I sent him, his “friend” made a run for it. Greg chased him for hours but lost him when he was hit by a car. Now Greg is in the hospital with a broken collarbone and no insurance. He says that the collarbone reattachment surgery is going to cost him 500 bucks and I can’t help but feel responsible for putting him into this dangerous predicament. Why do bad things happen to good people? Hang in there Greg!

Merry Christmas, Izzy. Wherever you are!:

 I just wanted to remember the reason for the season and wish all of the Izzy Lyon Fanatics a merry Christmas. And for anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas, I want you to know that I still love you and so would Izzy if he met you. Merry Christmas, Izzy. You recoming home would be the only present I need!

Izzy Down Under:

An anonymous person posted that he (or she!) thinks that Izzy would definitely have gone to Australia to hide out. He (or she) said that Australia has all kinds of cool animals and it’s got more ocean than most other countries in case Izzy wanted to surf. I don’t recall ever hearing about Izzy surfing, but he has really good balance and he’s like a super athlete and already has lots of experience with boards (signs) so it’s a definite possibility. Hey, all of our Koala-loving friends down there, have you seen Izzy hanging the ten?!

Possible Florida Izzy Sighting Part 2:

Greg from Tallahassee is too good to be true. Right after I told him that I received a stimulus check for 800 dollars, he was able to bargain with his friend down from 5 thousand to 800 exactly! Sometimes prayers are answered. Tomorrow morning I’m going to open a bank account and get this done. I don’t want to jinx it, but this really feels like the light at the end of that long dark train tunnel. Tomorrow!

Working With an Aging Artist:

Since so much time has past since Izzy disappeared, it has been brought to my attention that we might need to create a photo of what Izzy would look like now. I spoke to a bead artist at the mall who said that the FBI has these people trained in the art of “face aging”. (I guess the whole body ages, but I think our best bet to find Izzy has more of a chance to identify his face than his knees or elbows.) Since we don’t have the funds to pay one of these trained artists, I asked him for a few tips that we could use on a budget. He said to gray up the hair (which feels sacrilege, I know), and make the ears and nose a little bigger. He also said I could maybe add some wrinkles, but Izzy was always a stickler for moisturizing, so I don’t know. He also told me that “black don’t crack” but Izzy always said no to drugs, so I don’t think that would be a problem. I’ll post the image when I’m done!

What Can’t Izzy Not Hide:

I’ve been thinking a lot about Izzy lately and what he’s had to do to stay off the radar grid for all these years and all of the ways he can disguise himself from what he’s used to be. He could have a fake moustache or beard, he could have changed his sunglasses, he could (father-son-holy spirit) have changed his hair! I don’t like to think about it, but when you’re on the lam, anything can happen. So, then it hit me. What can’t he change? His spirit, his love of sign-spinning, the way he walks maybe. It’s possible we’ve been looking for all these superficial things, but what we need to do is search for the inner Izzy!
