My wife steals all of my jokes! (No, really, she does!)

About Me

Ok, where do I start? I'm married to the very talented and beautiful Wendi McLendon-Covey (see, that 'Covey' part at the end proves it). That's probably why you're looking at my page. I get it! You probably know her from such TV shows as 'Reno 911!' and 'Lovespring Internaitonal', movies like 'Cook Off', 'Closing Escrow', 'Goldfish', and the upcoming 'Over My Dead Body'. And finally, the educational filmstrips 'Where's my uterus?' and 'I wasn't even looking!' Check out her myspace page. Yep, she's that friend there in the first slot.
During the day I'm a software engineer who writes programs for the US Air Force. No, I'm not an enlisted man or an officer, I'm a private contractor. I work from home and I support an Air Force base about 135 miles from me. That's about all I can tell you, so don't ask!
Wendi and I just bought a big ass boat. It's a 36 foot Formula (the best boats made, by far). She's a twin engine cabin cruiser, with 8.2 liter big blocks. This thing has some power. She's the new baby, and thankfully, she doesn't need a college fund. Check out her pictures in my pictures section. If you're nice, maybe we'll take you for a cruise one day.
And finally, here are some videos for your enjoyment. Yes, they're a little 'Wendi-centric'... what were you expecting?
