Episode 67 - Accidental Baptism

Seriously though, I wonder what kind of childhood Roald Dahl actually had? He seems to have been at least a mildly disturbed dude. That said, he enriched my childhood a lot. I loved his books!

The good news this week is, as you’ll learn, is that at least I’m going to heaven. I think if you try this drink, which is curiously strong, you may begin to believe you’re already there. Truly, this will sneak up on you, I know it did on us!
