And this is a problem because? (hahaha) Guess I'll have to find out who Edward Lee is.

Maybe next week for me. :(

Bought time I breached 100, eh?

Frankly, I'm not surprised. Happy for you---Yes!

Tasty!

Good morning Pam! It is cold and sunshiney here. Sorry to see the sad face. Are you having turkey later today? I am scant hours from a feast at my in-laws.

I'm getting close Aventine. OOops, this actually was my 100th.

Thanks. I will say that I pity anyone with arthritis that lives up there. We've had some cold (for Florida) weather here lately. I almost regret not wearing a jacket when I walk across the parking lot to work.

Sometimes I think I could leave Florida but I'll probably die here.

Thanks Mike! I won't give up.

Sounds great brother!

Sorry Fred, I missed your post. Yes, it is a bummer, but we will overcome it! After all, the living dead shop there and they will not be denied!

Wow Brad, yes I do remember Circus World. On one of my more memorable visits my date went to 'powder her nose' and when she returned gave me a cigarette-flavored kiss. Funny how people try to hide stuff like that from you. I couldn't have cared less. I was so happy just to be with her. Maybe she actually felt the same way and didn't want to blow it? Say, I might have the beginnings of a sweet little story..

You stirred up some good memories there man, thanks! I also want to look into whoever this Haines person was. In Pinellas Park there is a road called 'Haines Road,' and believe it or not, it is where the Trish character in 'Dead Tide' has quite a few adventures.

It is sad to drive past the remains of Circus World. When did you graduate Brad? I'm an '82 grad of Northeast High in St. Pete.

Pam, I've been fairly lucky as far as health care, but I can see why you'd leave. Too bad though. Roaches are gross, but most of the time you don't see them (hehe-out of sight, out of mind, right?).

They are about to release another 'Punisher' film. The first one was filmed at least partly in the Tampa Bay area. Not sure with the second movie though.

Oh well, I've almost managed to make myself late---better go!

I live in Largo, which is next to St. Pete and Clearwater. I was in Jacksonville once on a pass from the Army. So you live in Canada now. Bet that is tough on a Florida girl. I know it would be tough on me.

I was shocked to find out that Canada has mosquitoes---Lots of mosquitoes. When I was sixteen I went to Canada and the people I stayed with apologized for not having mosquito netting for me in my bedroom. I thought it was some kind of Florida joke, but they were dead serious. I also can't imagine driving on ice.

Guess if you've lived in Canada for ten years now, it must be easy. I've been to Montreal and Toronto, and seen Niagra Falls from both sides.

I really want to read this book. Soon. Soon.

Yes Pam, I was talking to you. (embarrassed) I thought I quoted you when I asked the question, but apparently I screwed up.

Hope you like it. Are you actually from Florida? Just curious if you have ever been to St. Petersburg or Tampa area. I am a St. Pete native.

Well, I didn't get in Wal-Mart. It was a sweet dream, but who knows maybe I can get a book into a big shot's hands. My dreams die hard.

Oh man, I just saw miked's new avatar. ROFL!! If you'll pardon the expression, that was f'ing great! And so is this news!

Also in the news: Yesterday I emailed the book buyer for Wal-Mart and pled my case for being included in their catalog. I've been on edge ever since wondering what the answer will be. Just imagining 'Dead Tide' or 'Beneath the Mask' in over 3000 stores is...Well, I better not even go there. I will let you all know the results as soon as I know. What will happen? Lady or the Tiger?

I thought we met. Hopefully we'll talk more at the next Fest.

Wonder if I met you at this year's fest, Rich? Glad to have you here! If you have a zombie band and feel like playing any Zeppelin, I could do the Dread Zeppelin thing, except I'd be an overweight Robert Plant, instead of Elvis. Or I could probably channel Elvis too.

No, I'm not doing crack. Just out of my mind naturally.

I emailed a few days ago. Hope she returns to us soon.

Great news! Congradulations!

Thanks again, my friend. I really like writing in first person, but it is fun to get into other people's heads. Too much gets left out with a limited viewpoint.

I wondered if anyone would catch that. Quite astute of you actually (using Dr. Evil voice). I throw inside comments in once in a while. Hope it didn't bother you. I also thought it would fit because they would be suited up if there was any hint of a biological contagion.

I don't know if any of you have ever had to wear one of those blasted things, but for any length of time (especially in a hot environment) they are a misery. Vision is limited and God help you if you wear glasses.

I've noticed how short most zombie books are. You're not gonna get that with me lad. You're gonna get something 'HUGE!' And hopefully tasty!

Anyway, have to go. My daughter wants the computer. Truly hope you enjoy it.

Glad you are remembering that there are people who love you. Hate to think of you suffering, but also glad that the pain is easing. You still have your sense of humor! I'm just one of many friend/fans praying and thinking of you.

Wow, I've been out of the loop. Hope all goes well.

I hope you are ok, nickie. I miss you!

There is still a chance to get in on the third? Aaarrrgggh! Think. Think. Think.

Man you are all killing me. I just have a PC and a Wii. My PC is getting old, but hopefully I'll still be able to play. If not, I will take a second job until I have the money. Used to mow five yards in my old neighborhood (widows). I'd weedwhack, edge, mow and blow (hah!), but I'm getting a little long in the tooth for that anymore. Anyway, I guess that some zombie game is coming for the Wii soon, if I am out of luck.

I am excited about this too!
