Robin took this photo in the studio.
The hat I'm wearing - she made it!

This episode continues with the theme of guests, only this time, the guest isn't me; my sister Robin was in the studio, making sure I was doing my job.  Having my little sister along made this program extra fun...I hope it comes through in what you hear.  I encourage all my friends out there to follow in Robin's footsteps and come out to New Mexico to join me live in the studio for one of my radio shows.
