A special thanks to my Australian shepherd, Sochi, for providing the voice of Dog this week.

Also an extra special thanks to Michael Medler, this episode’s special cameo and guestbook contributor with his poem Dungeness Wood. Michael writes because Nature wills him to it. He recently left a dystopian suburb of Seattle and retreated to the knee-hills of the Olympic Mountains, cut the cable, and bought whiskey. Now he finds inspiration from deep woods, less so from demons. You can find both of his poetry volumes on Amazon.
