THIS PROG: I had to take the opportunity to chat with Robin again, as he was staying with me in San Francisco while doing some filming for his current big project.
We discuss all sorts of nonsense, in a very relaxed manner, due solely to the lateness of the hour and business of the day. We also jointly review Mrs Freshley’s Dreamies, an homage to the late lamented Hostess Twinkie, that I picked up in Carmel Valley (that and so much else besides).
