What advice can you guys give me on not becoming a PHB?
Always wear a crucifix. It should keep you safe but if it were to somehow fail and you begin to turn, the smoke from your roasting flesh will be noticed by your subordinates. Assuming you've been good to them before your fall, they will drive a stake through your heart as an act of mercy.

Heh, I re-read that and I thought "Man, you sound old." and I'm only 38...
38? Dude, you are old!

It's hard to be a PHB without having hair. You'll still make stupid decisions, but you'll look cooler doing it.
