I Have the Tape

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bother you... I'm making a pest of myself... It's because I keep asking these questions, but, I tell you, I can't help myself.
--Columbo

Today Carl and I had lunch (at The Works in Loveland, delicious pizza) and he handed me The Tape. It's an official VHS copy of Murder by the Book. Tonight I will take it home, transfer it to DVD (fair use and all that) and then Carl and I shall begin picking it apart.

It has been decided that Carl will play Ken Franklin because he's a big fan of Jack Cassidy. I guess that leaves me to play Columbo. We will have to be the main characters because it is so hard to get people's schedules to line up. In fact we might have to play other characters as well.

I'm not crazy about playing Columbo, just because I know it will be a lot of work. I actually look forward to working up a laughable impression of Peter Falk, but it will still be a lot of work.
