I am so over this situation, Peter. I'm unbumble to find something real.

You know, like someone you can count on, someone who actually cares about what you think.

I just want someone who's ready for that long-term kind of love.

Whether you're looking for your next boyfriend, girlfriend, casual date or just someone a truly getcha,

it's waiting for you unbumble. Find them unbumble.

Hey, my name's Otis Gray, and you're listening to Sleepy.

Podcasts where I read old books to help you get to sleep, and a proud member of the Airwave Podcast Network.

I have got a wonderful, snoozy bedtime story for you tonight.

But before we get to tonight's reading, I just want to thank all of our patrons on Patreon.com.

Melody Prouse, Anna White, Elizabeth Horner, Kathleen Powell-Marena, Grace Crowd, Michelle Morena, Claire Cook, Bethany Gilbert, Erica Wilkins and Julie Tap.

Thank you all so, so much for being a part of making this show. It means a lot to me.

And for those of you who don't know, all the names that I just read are new patrons on Patreon.com,

which means that they like the show, and they decided to give back a little by going to Patreon.com, slash Sleepy Radio, and donating a little bit every month.

A lot of donations are $1 a month, $2 a month, and $5 a month gets you access to a very special Patreon poetry feed,

where I read poetry and send it right to you for donating twice a month every other Monday.

So, if you like the show, maybe it's helped you get a better night's sleep, consider going to Patreon.com slash Sleepy Radio, and donating even a dollar a month.

It goes a really, really long way. And of course, I will read your name in the opening credits of the next show after you donate.

So again, that's Patreon.com slash Sleepy Radio. Thank you.

And as always, the music that you're hearing is by my good friend, James Lepkowski, and the cover art for Sleepy is by Gracie Canon.

Today's a book that has been highly requested, and I really don't know anything about it other than its name is very, very familiar to me.

It's been her, Bud Lou Wallace. I wandered into the local library here in my Hollywood mod, and like most books that I've been finding for the show in the last three to four months, I was just kind of on the book show.

It's staring at me. So today, we're going to read a little bit of it.
