The night may be long and the dark may be deep, but the answers are there to be found.

Whether it's the normal, the abnormal, or the paranormal, you're in the right place.

Let's go beyond reality.

Jason, it will not be with us, and I've got to say something, and I wasn't going to mention this before, but it's getting a little bit serious. Actually, it's been serious for a while. It's getting more

serious. Jason has been dealing with his father who's very, very ill and he took a severe turn

for the worst late in the middle of the week last week and it's gotten worse today so

Jason's not going to be with us for a couple days anyway um we're not really sure what's going to

happen uh but i know that all of you will be sending as much love and positive energy as you can

for jason's dad.

I do the same.

So hopefully that helps.

If nothing else, hopefully it comforts Jason in this difficult time for him.

So we'll carry on here, of course, and do the program as best we can.

And we'll hope to have Jason back soon on a good note. That's what we're hoping for anyway. We do have a really great program for you lined up tonight. I'm a little bit

horse. I just spent the weekend in Ohio, as most of you know, in Cleveland at an event called

Dark Xmas. I was there with Rebecca Foster. We had a fantastic time.

Saw a lot of great people.

Met some of you, which was really, really awesome.

And, but my, I pay for it for a few days afterward.

We have to, you know, bear through this hoarseness and whatever else, the exhaustion, whatever it is,

that happens when you attend an event like that. It's well worth it. I love doing it,

but I do pay a price for a few days. So bear with me. We will still get through this without any
