Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast,

One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King.

Each week I'll review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King

in the chronological order of publication.

And happy 2019, everybody.

I hope that you concluded 2018 on a positive note

and began 2019, equally if not greater positive

note so a couple things um i have a lot of stuff to talk about there's been a lot of

stephen king news i wanted to record earlier in the year i haven't recorded since november it's

been a while. I do apologize

everyone. Life has been very, very busy. And then I meant to record earlier in like January,

but honestly, for those of you living in the northeast, the weather this year, this winter

has been really weird. It can't make up its mind whether it wants to be freezing or like spring.

And so like the fluctuation and temperatures, it's causing all sorts of sicknesses and illnesses.

And since December 28th, I have had this, I don't, you can probably hear it in my voice my throat doesn't feel that great but

since December 28th I have had this this non-stop cough that um lingered for all of January and then

towards the end of January it morphed into a pretty aggressive head cold and it just it just started it you know I have felt weak

all 2019 and just irritable so you know I'm still I think that you can hear it like I said it

my voice is still a little bit raspy and the

cough hasn't still quite gone away um so that's that's why I haven't it's one of the reasons

why I haven't recorded um and so what I want to do today is I want to read some listener

emails which I'm going to do at the end of this episode what I want to do is start with some personal news.
