Last week USA Today ran an article called “10 great haunts for seekers of the paranormal.” The reporter interviewed me and asked me to pick out the locations. My objective was to pick sites across the United States (’cause the paper is called “USA” Today), and choose diverse paranormal phenomena found in those locations (ghosts, Bigfoot, UFOs, crop circles, etc.). I made a goof in my segment on Roswell, New Mexico. I mentioned in the original interview that that Roswell was known for an alleged UFO crash that took place there in July of 1947. I also mentioned that the famed “Area 51″ was nearby Roswell. It’s not. The top-secret base is actually located several hundred miles away near Groom Lake in southern Nevada.

My bad. I’m new to UFOs and obviously still have plenty more to learn. Thanks to all those alert readers who called me out on this fact. It’s nice to have a job where I have so much “backup.”

Each day I make myself check lists of items I need to accomplish before I retire for the evening. Some items are easy, like: “Email John back about his Web site.” Other tasks are complex, for example, “Write new treatment for show idea.” I see on today’s list that I wrote, “Blog.”

Check.

Glad that’s done.
