I was on the weekend edition this weekend on NPR. It was the first in studio taping I have ever done -- so when I was led into the room for the interview and given the headphones for my interview, I waited for my interviewer. Waited. Looked around. Wondered when she would be coming.

She did not appear because she was in Washington, DC.

Fortunately, I figured something was up and put on my headphones just in time. I missed Ailsa Ailsa Chang's introduction but was there in time to say, "Nice to be here." Whew. The taping wasn't live.

If you want to hear the sound of my voice, I answer questions and read a short passage of The Red Car.
