Don ’ t Get Dragged Down By “ Zombie Cells ”
Did you watch any of the zombie shows that were all over the airways a few years back?
I confess my sons and I really got into the program The Walking Dead. Watching the cast of characters try to survive in a world overrun by dead zombies was a fun way to spend some time together and wrap up a Sunday night.
