Hello and welcome back to the Nightlyth Pleasures podcast. It is episode number 84. I am your host and the author of the piece you're about to hear The Grey Knight. It is 2018 already and we're just steaming ahead. Just remind everybody, I am taking the second half of January off.

You will get a podcast on the 18th.

However, after that, there will be none for two weeks. It will be full three weeks, 21 days, etc., between the 18th upload and then the first Thursday of February, taking that time off.

I'm finally going to see the Pacific Ocean for the first time.

Never actually seen it in all of my travels.

I have actually been out in LA multiple times in my life and never seen the damn thing.

For real, just never took the time to see it.

This time it is very high up on the order list. So I'm excited. Hope you are too for me to not give you pieces,

but I should come back much happier and healthier and all the fucking rest.

So thank you for everything, all the emotional support last year.

Hopefully I could give some to you.

I'm feeling much better this year.

Hopefully you can hear that in my voice already.

Let's get it done.

By the time to come back in February, I should

be a man half restored and then knock on wood with all things going the way that they have been

the last few months sometime during this year. I will be a man restored. I won't be to any degree

sick. And again, thank you guys for that, for being with me on the last legs of it

and now you've waited long enough you want to hear more of the sexy well the title of this

week's piece is a little bit uh well it's a little bit shy of how dark the piece is.

The name is Ice Wizard.

However, I need to warn you now, it is fairly heavy on the denigration and abuse scale.
