   Ahhh, LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER, one of my favorite short stories. I never thought Dahl was an exceptionally gifted storyteller (gifted, but not exceptionally gifted, in my book), but this one’s a classic!

   Wish you a speedy recovery, Leigh.

   A great episode.

   Hope you are feeling better, Leigh!

   Dahl could be fun and delightfully weird! Hope you feel better soon, Leigh! Maybe you need to eat something. Let’s see what I have in the freezer…

   Another great Hitchcock episode (starring Robert Morley) was “Specialty of the House,” which also involved a mystery about a lamb dish. Anyone out there remember it? I checked and unfortunately it has not made it to UTube.

   Hope you get better soon because the cops in Florida are raiding barbershops and we need someone to give us the full details.

   Dear God, I thought that was a joke, Louis!

   What’s the deal Leigh? After reading your work for quite a few years i see story changes. You seemed to have lost the edge for the work you once put out. I miss it. Bring it back man, okay?!

   Since you put the show in here, indulge me in my favorite bit of trivia:

   The guy who gets the chop on the head?

   That’s Allan “Rocky” Lane, cowboy star emeritus …
   … and the voice of Mister Ed!
   (Play it again and listen close.)

   Just thought I’d throw that in.

    Hey, everyone. I’ve mostly slept the past few days, but the sun melted the ice in my cave door. Only a trace of my cold remains.

    Thanks Dale, Jeff, and alisa.

    I see Josh and Louis collaborated to bring on another Florida weirdness story. Yep, felonious barbershops, a problem since the days of Delilah, alleged to scalp and fleece, where customers escape only by a hair. Thank you, Louis and Yoshinori.

    “Chop on the head“… (laughing) Mike, I’d never have guessed Mr. Ed.

    Uh-oh, Thad. I need to get my groove back. Suggestions are welcome.
