Zo, having served in the military, can empathize with people who become disaffected, unmotivated or uninspired with their chosen profession. Such people might have chosen to engage with their career path believing that they might accomplish great things only to be confronted with tedious and seemingly meaningless work. Like a certain Lt. Chris Burnett, a U.S. Naval aviator who has found himself running dull routine missions instead of punching Nazis in the face. Life comes at you fast and, in the

Zo is on vacation in Paris, France and expected this visit to at least be peaceful, but he finds that he must duck and cover as though he was in his own neighborhood around the suburbs of DC as gunfire seemingly erupt out of nowhere and he has to dodge cars driving insanely on the narrow and claustrophobic streets of the metropolitan European city. What could be happening? This seems to be more than the run of the mill criminal activity. Could this be some spy stuff? Is spy stuff happening all

Zo is enjoying a day in New York City, but there's an unsettling crime wave going on. It seems that there are police reports of decapitated bodies seemingly showing up in various places in New York and New Jersey. The bodies are often found with their heads nearby and, even more curious, a sword is often found with the body. Who's doing this? Is it a team of criminals or a serial killer? At this time it seems that it's best to avoid anyone in the area carrying a sword. You don't want to loose your

Zo loves a good martial arts bout just like everyone else, but does a kung fu fight have to break out at the Chinese restaurant where he's at trying to enjoy egg fu young? It seems as though a well dressed Chinese man and a tall, lanky, goofy looking African American are in a full-on Hong Kong film fight with a bunch of unruly Chinese gangsters. At some point the tall goofy

Zo, while vacationing in Las Angeles, narrowly avoids getting caught up in a hostage situation. There was a club nearby that he thought about checking out, but he skipped it because this dance club didn't have the vibe that he was looking for. Later he saw on the news that the club had been taken over by a crazed lunatic who was forcing people to scream at gunpoint for the sheer pleasure of it. Zo could have been one of those people. There are also conspiracy theories floating around that the crazy

Zo is on vacation in San Francisco and notices something peculiar while riding the bus at night. An elderly woman comes on board the bus obviously tired from a long days work. Zo notices that her thigh high stockings had slid down past her knees and the knees on this woman are boney and hairy. In fact, Zo could easily imagine that this was a man in drag, but men don't normally dress in drag as an old woman do they? Could it be that this was a man who's dressed in drag as a disguise to circumvent the

Zo happens to be in the Midwest just hanging out and checking the sites when he sees a news alert at a restaurant that he happens to be dining at. It appears that the U.S. was on high military alert for a few minutes due to a computer glitch. That must've been some glitch. It may also have something to do with a rumor that he's heard about some kid hacking into military computers and messing around. Surely that's not a thing that a person could do, right . . . Right?

Zo finds himself in New York City for the holidays. The crowds of people seem joyful. The air is cool and crisp, and there's a shop nearby proclaiming to have the world's greatest coffee. Also, rather bizarrely, there's a very tall man who seemed to have enough Christmas cheer for the entire city. He seems extraordinarily positive and happy. He's almost literally bouncing between the walls of the skyscrapers and the crowded sidewalks. What's really eye-catching about the fellow, though, is that he's

Zo got a chance to meet his favorite schlock horror movie producer, Harry Zimm, while visiting Las Angeles. At this chance meeting Zo also met an associate of Mr. Zimm who avoided directly giving out his name or any real personal information. Sure the man seemed really charming and friendly, but in an almost intimidating kind of way. The kind of the way that a king cobra might appear to hypnotize you before it strikes. The man also had the kind of demeanor that seemed familiar. He was confident
