Howdy. My name is Meghann, and I’ll be your guest blogger for the rest of the week.

Ben, it seems, felt the need for a vacation and a person was called in to fill his shoes. I am one half of that person.

You may know me as “That idiot on the Special K diet.” Hopefully, you also know me as the author of Field Guide to the Apocalypse: Movie Survival Skills for the End of the World.

If you don’t know me at all, you can learn things by visiting MeghannMarco.com.

Thank you for your kind attention. It’s great to be here!
