Sorry for the delay. We have had some shift changes and are having a hard time getting together to record. We hope to have it released this weekend, look for it then. :)
Jayson discusses chapters 16-20 of The Eye of the World, Ben's crazy theory deals with Mat, and Carrie's listener feedback talks about minor character favorites. The podcasts also discuss their favorite characters of The Wheel of Time.
As usual, let me start by thanking those who recently have donated to the Mayo Clinic Hematologic Malignancies Program -- Amyloidosis Research in my name. The latest are Ms Brandie Minchew and Mr. Liam Hemmings. Thanks a million, guys.
This will be short, just to keep the worriers a little less worried about any untoward events.
A note to those sending me fan mail. A return address really helps if you'd like any sort of answer, though I've been reduced to postcards of late because of
The 4th Age Podcasters talk about Aviendha, Babies, and Elayne. Jayson's WoT Journal continues, Ben's crazy theory is crazy as ever, and Carrie's responds to more listener feedback, all in this week's 4th Age Podcast!
I thought I'd send a few words just to keep any rumors at bay, and any worries over the length of time since my last post.
First off my thanks to Mrs. Sandy Allen and to Dr. Mark H. McKinney of The Citadel Electrical & Engineering Department for their contributions in my name to the Mayo Clinic Hematologic Malignancies Program -- Amyloidosis Research. Your gifts are very much appreciated.
Thanks also, once again, to all of you who have posted your well wishes for me. It means a lot.

First off, guys, I want to thank Lewis Nemes for making a donation to the Mayo Clinic Hematologic Malignancies Program -- Amyloidosis Research. Thanks much!
Now. I got some news last week, and I am holding at about a 97% confidence level that it is about as good as it can get for me. A recent blood test looking for lambda light chains (an indication of amyloid production) showed a normal ratio, and if that is right, it means a complete hematologic response, a total stoppage of amyloid pro
Harriet and RJ have asked me to publish these quick thank you's:

We took a week off for memorial day and... due to scheduling conflics we'll be releasing the podcast a little late this week. I apologize! However, we have a few new improvements that we've been working on hard this week to get into the podcast... it'll sound much better ::wink-wink::
Hi everyone,
Robert Jordan asked me to pass along some more photos. Here they are, and here's what he had to say about them:
Here are a few more pictures for you to post. First off, my niece Ariel. She didn't have her head, obviously, but what she did was neater, really. There is a charity called Locks for Love [

Hi folks,
RJ sent us a close-up photo of his dragon do-rag. It was a bit hard to see in the previous blog entries. Click the pictures below for a larger image. If you're not sure what this is all about, see his previous blog entries.
The 4th Age episode #7 deals with the one and only (well sorta) Dragon Reborn, Rand al'Thor. Jayson, Carrie, and Ben also discuss some upcoming news for the 4th Age Podcast.
I don't think I've ever broken a promise to you guys before, but I must this time. I won't be in Seattle or Anchorage as promised. Harriet finally allowed as how she was just too tired to make the trip, and I guess that freed me up to take a long look at myself. I can see where I am right now, and for all the brave talk, the chances of me actually making it to Anchorage were somewhere between small and nill. Especially if I expected to walk away at the end instead of being carried. So we ar
Dear everybody,

Some of you don't like my striped shirt, and some don't like the braces but you'll have to get used to both, boys and girls; I like stripes, this simple red-and-white isn't even close to one of the full-bore stripes. With French cuffs. As for the braces, I adopted those some 20 years ago. A tailor in London was marking up the waist of a pair of trousers when I commented on the fact that I had trouble with trousers sliding down...and off "Sir has no shelf," he replied, and I realized he was right
