Up a Paddle - Episode 18 - I am Crazy and so am I - Part 1 of 2
This week I start my two part series on crazy stuff.  I wanted to review some psychological anime and that desire evolved into this and the next episode.

Due to unforseen circumstances, this episode is a little late.  Sorry about that.  Better never than late ... wait a second.  Oh well, enjoy the show.
