I don’t listen to podcasts very often, primarily because I’m so busy concentrating on (usually) writing and producing books, that I just can’t spare the time to sit and do nothing with my hands while listening to people talk. If I was doing a lot of repetitive activities that didn’t require much mental capacity (driving, […]
I really don’t like zombie fiction. I haven’t watched any of the zombie movies or TV shows. Even the shows that feature pseudo-zombies (disease or infection that turn people into brain dead cannibals) have me reaching for the remote pretty quickly.

Roy C. Sullivan must be the unluckiest man alive. He’s been hit seven times by lightning. On the other hand, he’s one of the luckiest men. He lived.
